Another week of transfer rumours circling around Elland Road, as Leeds United prepare for the January transfer window.
Leeds fans are anticipating a busy transfer window in January, with a lot of absentees in the squad. Star duo Ethan Ampadu and Illia Gruev are still out injured, and are expected to return by January. Austrian defender Max Wober has returned to action, coming on as a substitute on Wednesday. But the club was hit with bad news as Sam Byram was subbed off as a precaution, with the medical staff suspecting a hamstring tweak.
Farke expects a ‘quiet’ window in January unless something significant happens:
“Not much is ongoing as I also expect I pretty quiet January. Of course, we have to stay awake in case there is a big injury like we had for example with Ethan and Ilia, we had to react a bit spontaneous so for that, behind-the-scenes our recruitment and scouts are more or less looking at every position.
Despite the Leeds boss’ comments, there are still rumours at Elland Road. Let’s give you a round up of the latest Leeds United transfers.
