A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet by Tom Carnduff, which relays a link which has come from Alan Nixon that states Leeds are interested in Cauley Woodrow.
Leeds were interested in Rhian Brewster, but he looks to be joining Swansea for the rest of the season, and so the Whites are now looking at Woodrow.
Would Woodrow be a good signing for Leeds?
Yes, would add some depth in the striker department
No, Leeds could do better
The 25-year-old Barnsley striker who has scored nine goals in 22 league matches this season.
This latest rumour has received a mixed reaction from many Leeds fans. Some think that Woodrow would be a good signing.

Is Woodrow good enough for the prem tho?

With all respect to him , it’s about time Leeds showed their intentions of promotion and blow something out of the water. With one of the best coaches if not the best it’s about time he was given what he and the fans deserve. Not mediocrity

What do we think?
Now that Arsenal have recalled Eddie Nketiah Leeds need to find an adequate replacement, or they will be relying solely on Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts for the rest of the season.
Woodrow has a decent goalscoring record this season for a struggling team.
The former Fulham man is rated at £900k by Transfermarkt, but Barnsley are believed to value him at a lot more than that.
This could be a problem for Leeds due to Financial Fair Play.
Another issue for any potential deal is that Woodrow picked up an injury that will rule him out for the next three weeks – so he could fail a medical.
Leeds need to replace Nketiah, and Woodrow could be a suitable replacement, but the deal might be too challenging to pull off.
