Leeds United have made a solid start to life back in the Premier League. Daniel Farke is keen to ensure that they do not let go of the momentum and wants additions to his squad in the January transfer window.
The Whites have eight points from their opening six Premier League games, and look to be on course to stay in the league this season. However, Farke is aware that over the course of a long campaign, anything can still happen.
The Leeds boss knows that there are gaps in his squad that could get exposed later in the season, and he wants to plug them when the transfer window reopens.
He wants additions to the attacking areas of his squad, and the club are planning to sign a winger and an attacking midfielder during the winter transfer window.
Leeds United send scouts to watch Under-20 sensation
Leeds have been keeping tabs on Internacional winger Gustavo Prado through their observers in Brazil, even before the Under-20 World Cup, which began this week in Chile.
However, Leeds are stepping up their pursuit, as according to TEAMTalk, the scouts from the Premier League club are in Chile to run the rule over the 20-year-old winger.
The Whites want to have a closer look at him during the World Cup, and he impressed in Brazil’s 2-2 draw against Mexico on Sunday night.
Leeds have their eyes on him, and his performances will be monitored closely over the course of the next fortnight before reports are sent to the club hierarchy.
The Whites believe Prado’s value could soar in the future, and want to secure his signing while he is still financially attainable.
However, they are facing stiff competition from Nottingham Forest, who have also sent scouts to watch Prado for the Brazil Under-20 team in the World Cup.
Forest have a slight advantage as sporting director Edu’s deep contacts in Brazil could give them the edge over Leeds in the race for the 20-year-old winger.
Can you name the team Leeds United signed these players from in the 2000s?
