Jesse Marsch press conference live: Leeds United head coach discusses deadline day moves

Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch faces the media this afternoon ahead of his side’s trip to Brentford this weekend

Leeds’ last visit to Brentford is one which will live long in the memory.

Jack Harrison’s stoppage time winner, Raphinha walking the length of the pitch on his knees, Jesse Marsch mobbed by his staff at full-time and jubilant scenes inside the away end ensured Leeds’ Premier League survival was a pulsating and memorable affair.

This weekend, the Whites return to West London with the pressure not nearly as intense owing to United’s start to the campaign.

However, with a matter of hours before the transfer window closes this evening, Leeds are still thought to be ‘actively pursuing’ an additional striker, despite missing out on Charles de Ketelaere and seemingly Cody Gakpo, too, this summer.

Jesse Marsch will be speaking to the press about his side’s deadline day ambitions as well as previewing the trip to the capital.

Updates throughout the afternoon here.
