Leeds United have made a solid start to the season, but the club are formulating their transfer plans ahead of the winter window. Daniel Farke wants more additions, and the Whites are working on a couple of options for some mid-season shopping.
The Whites have looked competitive and hard to beat at the start of the season. However, the Leeds manager is aware that there are gaps in his squad, which could get exposed later in the campaign, and he needs additions in the winter window.
Sporting director Adam Underwood and his recruitment team are working hard behind the scenes to formulate plans and identify potential targets who could be ready to move to Elland Road in the middle of the season.
Farke is also clued into the discussions, and tentative plans have already emerged on what Leeds want to do when the transfer window opens again in January.
The Leeds United transfer plans include wanting players for two key positions
Farke wanted two more attackers towards the end of the window. However, Leeds fumbled and they missed out on signing Harry Wilson on deadline day after Fulham changed their mind about selling him.
The manager’s demands remain the same regardless of the solid star his side have made, and the club are planning accordingly.
According to Football Insider, Leeds want to sign a winger and an attacking midfielder as part of their thinking in the winter transfer window.
Farke believes those two priority positions are going to be key in ensuring Leeds stay in the Premier League at the end of the season.
Leeds are still eyeing a move for Wilson in the winter window, but Fulham hope to convince him to sign a new contract in the next couple of months.
The Whites also want to add more goals and creativity to their midfield, and signing an attacking midfielder is a key goal.
Leeds are looking at several players within their budget and will start sounding out agents soon as they prepare for the January transfer window.
