According to sources, Leeds United are in a race to land a huge target in the January window.
The Whites currently sit in ninth place in the league, with 14 points from 10 games. Despite complaints from the fan base, they have had a decent start to the campaign.
There was a lot of pessimism in the last few weeks before the international break, especially after the defeat to Bournemouth. Questions were raised about the quality in the Leeds attack as well as Farke’s coaching.
But the last win over Spurs has calmed the fanbase.

When the league resumes, there will be no international break until March with a packed schedule ahead of the festive period.
This is where teams will fight and claw to maintain their position getting to the halfway point of the season.
If Leeds can maintain their place in midtable till then, they have a solid chance of surviving relegation for another year.
Many fans still think the team lacks something, and that the 49ers will do business in January. Leeds have been handed the exact chance to do that following Friday’s news.
According to L’Equipe, Lyon midfielder Pavel Sulc could be on the market as the French side need to sell players to balance the books. The club will have to sell, and Sulc is earmarked as one of their most valuable assets.

Midfielder’s injury means a transfer is a risk
Pavel Sulc is currently out with a meniscus injury, with reports stating that he will return in February.
This makes the chances of any clubs signing him in January even less. Any team that is desperate to sign him will have to take the gamble that he returns to form following a long time out.
The Czech international had 15 goals and 10 assists in all competitions last year, and started this season well with five goal involvements in 10 appearances.
It remains to be seen if Leeds will take a shot at him in the January window.
