Leeds United brought in Junior Firpo, Daniel James and Jack Harrison on permanent deals this summer but are still left lacking squad depth in certain positions.
Many fans were hoping the Whites would bring in another striker as back-up for Patrick Bamford and also provide him with competition up top, while 30-year-old Luke Ayling remains the only senior right-back at the club.
Meanwhile, Leeds’ midfield options are still looking a little bare and could need to strengthen over the next year with Adam Foreshaw's contract expiring next summer.
Here are 10 players whose contracts are expiring in 2022 and so could be sold for cheap in the January window.
7. Sardar Azmoun - striker
Sardar Azmoun is an Iran international playing for Zenit Saint Petersburg. The striker has a brilliant goal record, scoring 19 in the Russian Premier League last season. The 25-year-old will be sought after, with the likes of Lyon and Roma reportedly interested. Photo: JEFF PACHOUD
8. Divock Origi - striker
Divock Origi struggled with game time for Liverpool last season but has scored some huge goals for the Reds since his arrival in 2014. It was reported that Liverpool were asking for around £15 million for the striker in the summer and it is likely he could go for less now that he only has a year left on his contract.

9. Andrej Kramaric - striker
Despite turning 30 in June, Kramaric's goal scoring record for Hoffenheim has been brilliant - scoring 20 goals in 28 league appearances last season. The striker struggled during his spell with Leicester City but could be a good cheap addition if he was to leave the German club. Photo: Matthias Hangst
10. Eddie Nketiah - striker
Eddie Nketiah has dropped down the pecking order for Arsenal recently but Leeds United have fond memories of the striker during his time in Yorkshire. The Gunners had placed a hefty £20 million pricetag on him, however could see him go for free next summer with the 22-year-old thought to be stalling on a new deal. However, Nketiah's new club would have to pay a tribunal fee. Photo: Justin Setterfield
