The Liverpool born Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt has been linked with a move to Rangers in the January transfer window.

The Daily Mail [8 January] claims that Celtic is also monitoring the 21-year-old who has descended through the ranks at Elland Road.

A January departure may be imminent since manager Daniel Farke prefers alternative attacking options to Gelhardt.

The video that has been released above shows the goal he scores, which demonstrates why Philippe Clement will love having him.

With a remarkable first touch, he takes the ball calmly under duress, runs with it, and positions it so he can score from the edge of the penalty area.


With superior players surrounding him at Rangers, he will undoubtedly be able to perform at this level if he can do it consistently in the Championship.

In England’s second tier, he was at a club that was not expected to win every game, but it will be a different ball game at Ibrox.

According to the statistics above, he completes passes with an accuracy rate of over 80% and completes more than 14 passes in a ninety-minute period.

This places him in the upper 80 percentile among strikes, which is a favorable position to be in.

Leeds will undoubtedly be chosen because they shattered their record to sign Georignio Rutter and even paid a respectable sum of money to acquire Joel Piroe.

In the final third, Clement prefers his strikers to be adaptable, drop deep, and drift into space. Gelhardt certainly checks all of these boxes.
