Leeds United will need to pay "big money" for a striker who will score goals in the Premier League, according to BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope and Jonny Buchan on the latest episode of Don't Go To Bed Just Yet.

Pope said: "I still think a goalkeeper and a centre-forward are key areas [to strengthen]. You're not going to get a striker for under £25m are you?"

"And the rest if you want somebody who is actually going to score goals in the Premier League," Buchan added.

"If you want to buy somebody who is at a Premier League club, who has scored goals in the Premier League, you're not going to pay any less than £25m.

But I think equally to lure somebody to the bottom end of the Premier League - which is what Leeds will be next season... let's all be honest about it - you're going to have to pay big money to get somebody out of a club.

"And of course, pay big wages as well."
