Leeds United have two weeks left to conclude any January transfer business and set their squad up for the second-half of the season. Daniel Farke’s side have given themselves a great chance to survive over the winter period but no one will be complacent, with lots more still to do between now and May.
The Whites welcomed their first January signing through the door this week, with Facundo Buonanotte joining on a six-month loan from Brighton and Hove Albion. The Argentinian snubbed a move to Elland Road for Chelsea in the summer but the YEP understands that after playing just 45 Premier League minutes, he pushed for a move to West Yorkshire.
Not long after that deal was confirmed, the YEP reported on interest in another Premier League star while Elland Road chiefs have also been working hard to offload anyone not in Farke’s immediate plans. It's set to be a busy couple of weeks and below is the latest on every Leeds transfer story so far this January.
7. Harry Gray
The YEP exclusively broke news of Gray's loan move to Rotherham United and it was confirmed shortly after. Made his League One debut at Stockport County last weekend. | Getty Images
8. Danilho Doekhi
Sky Sports recently reported on interest in the Union Berlin centre-back, with defensive reinforcements eyed amid a switch to 3-5-2. The YEP understands, however, that Doekhi is merely someone Leeds have looked at with no further progress as present. The 27-year-old's current contract expires in the summer. | AFP via Getty Images
9. Leonard Ngenge
Leeds signed the 18-year-old Nigerian defender on a pre-contract agreement and he officially arrived earlier this week. Will initially join up with the U21s after penning an 18-month contract. | Leeds United Photo: Leeds United
10. James McAtee
The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that Leeds had 'checked on' McAtee, who has struggled for minutes since his £30m summer move to Nottingham Forest. There have been recent suggestions he will leave the City Ground but Leeds' desire for a No.10 is no more. | Getty Images
11. Ruben Vargas
The Daily Mail reported this month that Leeds have 'asked' about Vargas, with wide attacking reinforcements a priority at the time. There was no other detail regarding the Swiss international, however, and little mention of his name elsewhere. | Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty Images Photo: Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty Images
12. Facundo Buonanotte
The 21-year-old Argentinian's six-month loan from Brighton was confirmed last week and he was in the matchday squad against Fulham. Could be in line for a Leeds debut at Everton on Monday. Photo: Malcolm Bryce
