Speculation has been rife for the past few weeks over who Leeds United manager Gary McAllister will bring to the club during the summer to bolster the clubs League One title challenge.
Kevin Phillips is a proven goalscorer and has attracted most of the attention recently. The 34 year old ex-England international holds the Sunderland record for most post-war goals and won the coveted European Golden Boot award in 2000.
Andy Cole, the veteran ex-Manchester United striker, has also represented England. He is ranked second only to Alan Shearer in the all-time Premiership goalscoring charts having struck 185 times. The 36 year old has won five Premiership titles in addition to the Champions League.
Derek Riordan, currently with Glasgow Celtic, is by far the younger option at the age of 25. The striker hit 54 goals in 123 appearances whilst at his first club Hibernian, and made his full Scotland debut in 2005. It is believed it would take a fee of around one million pounds to secure his services.
So which option is the right choice to form a deadly strikeforce with Jermaine Beckford next season? Give your opinion in the GloryGloryLeedsUnited.com poll.
