Leeds United have decisions to make ahead of the January transfer window. The board want to make more money available to Daniel Farke to strengthen the squad but the club will also need to move on a few players to bring in some cash and make space in the squad for new arrivals.
The Whites sit third in the Championship standings and are aiming for automatic promotion to the Premier League this season. However, they were in a similar position last year and were defeated in the playoff final after just missing out on the top two.
Leeds want to learn from last season’s mistakes and are prepared to properly strengthen the squad in the winter window to make sure that they do not lose steam towards the end of the campaign.
The Whites are considering signing defensive and midfield reinforcement but there are now claims that the Whites are also looking to bring in a striker in the winter window.
Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe have been hit and miss and Farke has refused to show any faith in either Patrick Bamford or Joe Gelhardt this season.
Leeds have already fielded enquiries from clubs in the Championship and Rangers for Gelhardt who is expected to be moved on in the winter window.
The Whites are still to make the final decision on Gelhardt’s departure
Gelhardt, 22, needs to play more football and has been frustrated by the lack of opportunities at Elland Road.
West Brom have been tipped to move for him but the striker has been linked with a move to Rangers who believe European football will help them beat other clubs to his signature.
However, according to Football Insider, Leeds are still pondering over the decision to let the forward go in the winter window.
He is certain to leave but Leeds are still considering whether to sell him or just loan him out until the end of the season.

Gelhardt still has more than two years left on his contract and a good loan spell could fetch them a sizable fee in the summer for him.
The striker is keen on a move and would prefer a permanent transfer as he is unlikely to get consistent opportunities to shine at Elland Road ever.
