The January transfer window has been open for a little over two weeks now and already Championship clubs have been hard at work. Whether the goal between now and May is survival or promotion, mid-season strengthening could be the difference.
Leeds United are yet to confirm any signings but there has been activity in the market. Loan deals are understood to be likely between now and January 31, with defensive reinforcements on the cards. Daniel Farke has trimmed the fat of his squad, seeing the likes of Luke Ayling and Darko Gyabi sent out on loan - more could soon follow.
But while the Whites look for opportunities, their Championship rivals are doing the same and some have already brought in reinforcements. Below is a round-up of some key moves, plus some interesting rumours.
