Leeds United Chat • De Ketelaere vs Terrier vs Kalimuendo

These seem to be our 3 striker targets.

De Ketelaere the preferred choice it seems.

But who would you pick?

Charles De Ketelaere.

21 year old Belgian International.

18 goals and 10 assists last season with a goal contribution every 147 minutes.

Tall strong player who is more of an attacking midfielder/false 9 type than a traditional striker.

Known for his intelligence and movement.

£30-35million

Positives

Good age with room for improvement and likely additional sell on value.

Very versatile able to cover as a main striker, as a 10 or as a left winger in the Raphinha role.

Very highly rated

Negatives

Isn't overly keen on the move and is clearly in a Raphinha Barcelona situation with a clear preference .

Plays at a level well below Premier League level and combined with his age may struggle with instant adaption.
Martin Terrier

25 year old French youth International.

21 goals and 7 assists last season with a goal contribution every 118 minutes.

Breakout star of Ligue 1 whose minutes per goal was better than illustrious names like Neymar, Dimitri Payer, Amine Giouri and Jonathan David.

A right footed left sided winger by trade whose known for his pace, close control and fierce shot.

Played more centrally for Rennes last season with great impact.

£30-35million cost

Positives

Coming into his prime rather so may be more ready for an instant adaption.

Very impressive numbers last season only bettered by French internationals Mbappe and Ben Yedder in Ligue 1

Versatile and able to cover both wide and central positions.

Plays and proven at a decent league standard.

Negatives

Has only had 1 outstanding season, could be a flash in the pan.

Would be the most expensive.
Arnaud Kalimuendo

20 year old French youth International striker.

Managed 13 goals and 1 assist last season with a goal contribution every 184 minutes.

Pacey stocky young striker similar to Joe Gelhardt.

Known for his pace and ability to play both on the shoulder and with his back to goal.

Has shown talent at such a young age and was one of the top scorers in Europe for u21 players last season.

£17-25million

Positives

Lots of talent and room for improvement.

Cheapest of the 3.

Most natural striker

Negatives

Is the lowest of the trio by a distance for goal contribution per minute.

Probably the least developed and least versatile with only a square peg sort of ability to play anywhere but up top.

Is maybe to similar to Gelhardt
