Leeds United are approaching the winter transfer in a strong position. The Whites sit third in the Championship table and are planning to bring in new signings to strengthen their promotion charge in the latter half of the season.
However, the Yorkshire giants will also have decisions to make with several players expected to push for a move in the winter window due to a lack of game time in the first half of the season.
Daniel Farke would not want to weaken his squad and would only sanction any sales from the first-team squad if he is allowed to bring in replacements.
Maximilian Wober is one of the players who has struggled for game time this season and has only made two league appearances from the bench in the ongoing campaign.
The Austrian centre-back is keen to play more and Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg have been heavily linked with an interest in the centre-back in the January transfer window.

Wober recently made two substitute appearances from the bench but he was again an unused substitute in Leeds’ defeat at Blackburn Rovers last weekend.
Salzburg sporting director Rouven Schroder has stressed that the club are considering their options and what they can do to change the structure of the team in the January transfer window.

He insisted that there have been no discussions yet about signing Wober but indicated that the team could do with his experience in the latter half of the season.
“We should also think maximally in this direction. That’s part of the process”, when asked about Wober Schroder told Salzburger Nachrichten.
“Maybe you can trigger something with a player’s departure and change the structure of the team. The same applies to new arrivals.
“The transfer time is definitely a very important factor for me in order to be able to change things. I’ve only been here since yesterday and therefore haven’t had any transfer discussions yet.
“Basically, I don’t think it’s wrong to have experienced players in a young team.”
It remains to be seen whether Wober gets more chances from now until the winter window opens in January.
