Leeds United striker target scores another two goals on weekend, now has 13 this season
Journalist Edmund Brack of the South London Press claims that Leeds has been monitoring Al-Hamadi for a few weeks, requiring a payment of more than £1 million. That level of curiosity won’t have decreased.
Al-Hamadi really can’t seem to quit scoring goals. On Saturday, he scored twice as Wimbledon crushed Swindon Town to win 4-0, earning his third brace in four League Two contests. In 23 games, he has 13 goals.
Not only thirteen goals, though. On top of that, six assists. Almost always a goal in each game he participates in. An really remarkable feat this term for a player of his age who is also travelling to represent his nation.
Leeds target Ali Al-Hamadi scores another brace for Wimbledon
Is he suitable for Leeds? He is, in fact, scoring goals at an incredible rate as the January window draws near. Leeds has a strong forward line, and playing consistently is crucial for Al-Hamadi.
He’s doing quite well at Wimbledon being a huge star in a tiny pond. He would provide backup to players like Patrick Bamford, Joel Piroe, and Georginio Rutter after his arrival. But he might show up if a pair leaves.
Mateo Joseph and Joe Gelhardt may want to look for loan opportunities, and Bamford’s future is uncertain as he is still one of our highest paid players despite having trouble getting into the game. We need to think about Al-Hamadi

Close to football blasphemy’ – Leeds United fans’ nickname for player almost laughed at by newspaper
Being unable to find any time on the pitch these days, Kalvin Phillips may not express regret in public for leaving Leeds United, but there must be some doubts about the choice on the inside.
It makes sense that the England international, who stole the show at Elland Road with the possibility of more money and trophies, would be enticed to go.
The Leeds supporters also given him the moniker “The Yorkshire Pirlo” while he was there, something the Italian media, specifically Gazzetta dello Sport, isn’t too fond of on Monday.
Because Juventus is interested in signing Phillips to a January contract, they consider his background and remember that Marcelo Bielsa transformed him into a deep-lying midfielder.
He flourished in this role, and the Leeds supporters duly bestowed upon him the playful moniker in recognition of his diligent efforts and his capacity to produce when needed.
But this analogy is “almost football blasphemy” in Gazzetta’s opinion.
Considering all of his years of dedication and the outstanding work he accomplished with the teams he played for, Andrea Pirlo is practically worshipped in Italy.
The Italian guy nearly acts as a quarterback for his teams, whereas Phillips is more of an all-action player. The two players are also quite different types of athletes.
It is unclear whether Juventus will sign him, but one thing seems certain: if he moves to Italy, Gazzetta won’t be comparing him to the Sampdoria manager that now holds the position.
