Leeds United have had a transfer disaster toward the end of the summer window, and now all eyes are on what they could do in January. The supporters are keen to see the owners back Daniel Farke when the transfer window opens again in a few months.
The Whites have made a solid start to the Premier League, with four points from their opening three league games. However, it is hard to shake off the feeling that the club have left themselves short in the final third.
Leeds have not scored a goal from open play this season, and their only league goal came from the penalty spot in the win over Everton at Elland Road in their opening game of the campaign.
Farke is disappointed that Leeds failed to add to their attack towards the end of the transfer window, and he remains keen to add to his squad in the middle of the season.

Leeds United to do a U-turn on the January transfer window
Leeds managing director Robbie Evans spoke to the media after the transfer window closed, providing the club’s views on several issues.
Following the club’s transfer deadline day disaster, there was talk of Leeds being active in the winter window. Still, Evans admitted that the club would want to avoid doing business in January.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Leeds are expecting incoming January deals following Farke’s insistence on adding more attackers to his squad.
Farke is not happy that Leeds were left short in the final third, and with new striker signings with questionable fitness records.
He wants some transfer business to be done in January, and the club are ready to back him in the market.
Leeds have already been tipped to sign Norwich City striker Josh Sargent, who has scored five goals in the opening four games of the Championship.
Farke has a chance to be in a good position to demand signings in January
The Leeds manager is unhappy about his options in the final third, but he cannot do much about it, at least for the next few months.
He will now hope to keep Leeds above the relegation zone until the winter transfer window, and he has a good chance to do so in the coming weeks.
Leeds will play only one of last season’s top nine in their next six Premier League games, and have a good chance of picking up several points.
If the Whites are in a solid position to survive in the winter window, Farke will be on a solid platform to demand more signings from the club to boost their chances of staying in the Premier League.
