The January transfer window is now just weeks away and Leeds United seem likely to be active during the first month of the new year.
The Whites are currently sitting two points and two places above the Premier League relegation zone after they claimed a win and a draw in an Elland Road double header against Chelsea and reigning champions Liverpool. Although there are a number of important fixtures between now and the end of the month, Leeds can boost their hopes of avoiding relegation into the Championship by boosting their squad during the transfer window.
There could also be a number of Whites players leaving Elland Road should suitable offers be received to free up space for new arrivals. With just three weeks to go until business gets underway, we take a look at possible new additions to Daniel Farke’s ranks and possible departures from Elland Road.
