Leeds United are still in the hunt for another striker - but Jesse Marsch says the club will not be rushed as they look to sign the right player.

There are two weeks remaining for clubs to complete deals before the transfer window closes on September 1.

Leeds lost Patrick Bamford to an abductor injury in the first half at Southampton last weekend and remain short of options up front although Marsch is pleased with the signings already made by the club.

“I understand that transfers are always a lightning rod and people want to talk about this a lot,” said Marsch, who saw Rodrigo take his goal tally to three in two games with a brace at St Mary’s.

“The transfers have gotten us to where we’re at. We made them early. We brought in players that we think fit the way we want to play.

“We are playing quite well and now we’re just trying to be prudent with how we make our last decision. So a striker has always been in our mind but we’re doing it in a way that we think makes sense. We think it’s something that we need to continue to evaluate on – what kind of move we make.”
