Leeds United have just over one week left to wrap up any transfer business - and a busy week it could be. The Whites have welcomed just the one first-team signing through the door so far, with Facundo Buonanotte joining on loan from Brighton while 18-year-old Nigerian defender Leonard Ngenge will head into the Under-21s.
Elland Road chiefs never expected to be making wholesale to Daniel Farke’s squad but there is a chance Buonanotte is followed by another first-team addition or two. On Friday, Leeds stepped up their interest in Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, submitting an opening offer.
It remains to be seen if the Whites can come to an agreement with Wolves but with 10 days until the January window closes, things are set to heat up in West Yorkshire. Below, the YEP rounds up the latest on every Leeds transfer story so far this month.
1. Illan Meslier
Reports of January interest have been fleeting and when asked directly about his third-choice goalkeeper this month, Farke insisted he had no plans to lose anyone in his squad. The German did add that could change if a player expresses a desire to leave, although there is no suggestion that has come. | Getty Images

2. Jayden Bogle

4. Jack Harrison
Joined Fiorentina on loan last week and the Serie A side have an option to make the move permanent for around £6m. Farke admitted his exit could open up an opportunity to recruit left wing-back cover, if an option arises. | Getty Images
5. Joel Piroe
The YEP reported earlier this month on known interest from Championship and foreign sides, albeit neither side is pushing for a move. The YEP also understands links to Celtic are wide of the mark, with a loan move of next-to-no benefit to Leeds' PSR position. | Getty Images
6. Joe Gelhardt
The young forward is halfway through a season-long loan at Hull and impressing, with 10 goals in 19 games. Tigers chairman Acun Ilicali recently admitted he is keen to sign the 'special boy' permanently in the summer, adding he doesn't expect Leeds to trigger any kind of January recall. | Getty Images
