Leeds United transfer rumours as Arsenal and Tottenham players linked

The latest Leeds United transfer rumours with the January window only a few weeks away.

Leeds United will be looking to bolster their squad when the transfer window opens on January 1st to help in their fight to stave off Premier League relegation. The main area of Daniel Farke’s side that has been debated in the first months of this season has been the attack. The Whites forward line has found it hard to click until recently, when they have scored nine goals in four league games.

This run includes an ongoing unbeaten streak in games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Brentford, which has eased pressure on the German manager and seen Leeds move three points clear of the drop zone. One big-name player who has been made available is Tottenham Hotspur’s Brennan Johnson. BBC Sport’s Sami Mokbel has reported that while the north London club are not actively trying to sell the 24-year-old, they are open to selling him if they receive a suitable offer.

This news will certainly have recruitment teams across the league interested, as a forward of Johnson’s calibre is not on the market very often, and it could lead to interest from Leeds, who will be looking for reinforcements at the top of the pitch.

Crystal Palace are the side most advanced in their interest for the Welsh forward, but other teams are monitoring the situation as well, according to the report. And one of those could be Leeds, who will be on the lookout for players who could make a difference to their side and really do a job in keeping them in the Premier League. The Welsh winger scored the winning goal in the Europa League final last season, but has not kicked on this season, only scoring two goals in 14 Premier League appearances.

Leeds interested in Arsenal youngster

Leeds have been keeping an eye on a number of players to add to the academy recently, and another of those could be Arsenal youngster Nefeye Osazee.

According to The Talent Hunter on X, the under-16 player is on the radar of the Elland Road side, as well as other Premier League clubs.

No decision has been made on Osazee’s future yet, however.
