Despite stealing a vast majority of headlines after the Everton game, Nmecha could well find he's been upgraded on if the €50m (£43m) striker does seal a switch to England shortly, on top of Joel Piroe also feeling less secure about his first-team minutes moving forward.

That is what Farke is mindful of - a bloated cohort. If the signing of AC Milan winger Noah Okafor comes off then his ability to lead the line could be handy and perhaps hints that in fact no more centre-forwards will be acquired.

Nmecha secured a "massive" win for Leeds, but this was also definitely a game which gives Farke ammo to push for his new striker. Rasmus Hojlund, anyone?

Nmecha also won as many duels (one) as Piroe managed (one) in 78 minutes on the pitch, per Sofascore, which perhaps speaks to the difference in physicality and mobility between the two forwards, as the substitute immediately looked to cause problems for Tarkowski and Michael Keane.
