"There's no secret to his goalscoring prowess at Championship level. After all, his 19 goals last season won him the Golden Boot, and marked the third time in four years in the second tier that he'd scored at least that many. However, this season, the recently declared Surinamese international has started just two top-flight games - the first two of the season - and has been relegated to unused substitute and cameo appearances since."
"Leeds were reportedly open to letting him leave in January, with both Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town cited with interest, and after a move wasn't made, Rangers, who are owned by the same 49ers Enterprise group as Leeds, have recently been credited as a potential suitor. While all this is mere talk for now, once the transfer window re-opens for the summer, all three should be looking to reignite their interest once more."
"Piroe signed a four-year deal at Elland Road when he signed for the Whites from Swansea City in 2023, meaning that he'll be in the final year of said deal next season. But the 26-year-old's current contract will make those talks almost a certainty, as this would present one of the final opportunities for the Whites to cash in on him before his contract runs out."
Joel Piroe, 26, is expected to leave Leeds United this summer after struggling for playing time in the Premier League following the club's promotion. Despite winning the Championship Golden Boot with 19 goals last season and consistently scoring 19+ goals in the second tier over four years, Piroe has started only two top-flight matches this season. Middlesbrough, Ipswich Town, and Rangers have shown interest in signing him. His contract situation strengthens the likelihood of a departure, as he enters the final year of his four-year deal signed from Swansea City in 2023. Leeds spent over £10 million on Piroe and will likely seek to recoup value before his contract expires.
