The summer transfer window came to a close just over a week ago as Leeds United rounded off what had been a hectic period of recruitment.
In total, ten new signings arrived at a cost of around £100 million as Daniel Farke’s squad was boosted across the pitch as his side prepared to take on the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and reigning champions Liverpool in English football’s top flight.
The likes of Lucas Perri, Anton Stach and Gabriel Gudmundsson have all featured heavily during the opening three games of the season - but could they be joined by more new faces when the January transfer window opens for business. It seems increasingly likely the Whites will target improvements in attacking areas - but what business could take place during the first month of the new year?

1. OUT: Illan Meslier
GROK3: Rumours persist of interest from Como, PSG, or Lorient; with Lucas Perri now first-choice, Meslier's inconsistent form makes a mid-season sale logical to recoup value and allow him regular play for a potential France call-up. | Getty Images

2. OUT: Max Wober
GROK3: On loan since summer 2025, Wöber hasn't featured prominently for Leeds since 2023. With Bijol, Bornauw, and Justin bolstering defense, converting to permanent balances books and gives him stability. | Getty Images
3. OUT: Joe Gelhardt
GROK3: Loaned to Hull, Gelhardt's limited minutes post-Bamford release suggest a full sale if he doesn't return. This prunes youth prospects, as seen with Gyabi, freeing spots for new attackers. | Getty Images
4. OUT: Darko Gyabi
GROK3: Also on loan at Hull, the 21-year-old's departure aligns with summer youth clearout. Minimal first-team impact makes a cheap permanent move sensible, especially with new midfield targets incoming. | Chris Hyde/Getty Images
5. IN: Harry Wilson
GROK3: Missed in summer, Wilson remains available per rumors; his creativity (5 goals/assists in limited minutes) rotates with James and Gnonto. A low-risk loan minimises PSR impact while adding set-piece threat for a top-half push. | Getty Images
6. IN: Hayden Hackney
GROK3: Part of the "exciting Championship trio" Leeds are tracking, the under-25 "midfield maestro" offers long-term quality and progression skills. Interest stems from contingency planning for survival or relegation, providing cover if Ampadu or Kamara falter. | Getty Images
