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.

Multiple reports emerged last week suggesting Leeds were in talks over a £13m move for the Werder Bremen man. The YEP's understanding, however, is that Schmid has not been discussed internally since Buonanotte's arrival, with the pair very similar in profile and position. | Stuart Franklin/Getty Images Photo: Stuart Franklin/Getty Images

The YEP reported on an enquiry last week and on Friday morning, reports emerged of an opening offer with Leeds remaining in active discussions. TalkSPORT claimed the offer was worth £30m plus add-ons, with Wolves wanting £40m. | Getty Images
