Leeds United entered the international break on a positive note. Daniel Farke’s side got a draw against Crystal Palace as they continued their impressive start to the campaign.
The club have lost just one game in all competitions, that came against Chelsea in the League Cup.
Leeds are unbeaten in the Premier League and sit in fifth place with just goal difference separating them from the top four.
Their run to the season is even more impressive looking at their opponents. They have managed wins against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United, while holding Brentford and Brighton to draws.
Fans felt that the Palace game could have been a victory, but a draw is still a great way to enter the international break.
Two Leeds United players linked with January exits
The January window is months away, but that has not prevented players from being linked with a move very early this season.
The Whites have started the season brightly, and the players have also had great performances.
Two Leeds players have already been linked with moves away in the last few weeks. The 49ers will have difficult decisions to make when the window opens in the next few months.
Transfermarkt values both players at £8.6 million, making them worth £17.2 million combined.

The German forward has entered the final months of his deal at Elland Road.
When he arrived at the club last year, there was not a lot of intrigue in him. As a free agent, he was expected to just come in and provide depth in the centre forward position alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Nmecha scored some important goals last season, and even finished as the club’s third-highest scorer in all competitions.
He is yet to sign a new contract, with reports claiming that Leeds are not in a rush to give him a new deal. That report also hinted that the striker could leave, with a January switch not ruled out.

James has not been great in the past year; after an incredible campaign in the Championship things have not picked up.
The winger went from 21 goal involvements in the 2024/25 season, to zero last season in the Premier League. In his defence, injuries meant that he only managed to play 21 games.
A report from Football Insider recently suggested that Dan James could look for a way out in January due to lack of playing time.
Friday saw news from TEAMtalk insist that Leeds have no plans of weakening their squad, and that the player will not force a move. But there is a lot of time between now and January; anything can happen.
