Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch says they "are trying the best that they can" to bring in a new striker before the transfer deadline.

Leeds' four-goal striker Rodrigo Moreno was withdrawn during Tuesday's draw against Everton due to a dislocated shoulder and the Spaniard could now be sidelined for several weeks.

Asked if Rodrigo's setback would affect Leeds' search for a striker, Marsch said: "Not so much, but that's obviously been a goal of ours since the start of the summer.

"We've been active and we're trying everything we can and we'll see how it plays out here over the next 24 hours or so."

Leeds have been linked with Wolves striker Hwang Hee-chan, who played under Marsch during his spells in charge of both RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg.

"I know Hee-chan very well," Marsch said. "I like Hee-chan, he knows our football. He's on our list, I can tell you that.

"Everybody is trying the best that they can. We're trying to find ways to continue to improve our squad, but we have also done a great job and you can see we have a good team."
