Leeds United have been busy to start off the last week of the transfer window. The results from the past few days have not been the best for fans of the club.
Losing heavily to Arsenal, and following it up with an embarrassing exit to Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL cup has raised a negative atmosphere around Elland Road. Daniel Farke is still pushing for new signings before the transfer window closes.
“We will see. We definitely want to do a bit more, I think it’s fair to say our attack wasn’t at the top level today, which we were aware of. I’m happy with the signing of James Justin. I think our defensive and midfield positions are all sorted but it’s no secret we would like to add some quality to our attack.”

According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Foxes are turning down offers from clubs, because they feel they can get a bigger fee for the 21-year old from Saudi Pro League clubs.

Leeds lead race to sign Brighton star
If the interest in El Khannouss fails to pan out, the Whites can still try to sign Brighton’s Facundo Buonanotte. The club have told the Argentine that he can leave, and Leeds are reportedly leading the race to sign him. He would be a lovely addition to the team, and could boost the creativity in the side.
