Jayden Bogle looks set to have a new challenge on his hands at Leeds United.

The euphoria of an opening day victory was quickly subdued by Leeds' humbling 5-0 defeat away to Arsenal on Saturday evening.

With that said, optimism levels are still high at Elland Road, and with several new transfers expected before the 1 September deadline, that will only increase.

However, it will also present a new challenge for Bogle, who has been a mainstay for Leeds ever since making the move from Sheffield United.

James Justin to give Jayden Bogle a run for his money

Leeds look set to announce the signing of James Justin, after a deal totalling £10million was agreed with Leicester City.

After missing out on Kyle Walker-Peters, Leeds turned their attention to Justin, and Paul Robinson thinks he could compete with Bogle for a starting spot.

Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, he said: "What they've got is a Premier League-proven player. I think there was a lot of talk about him at international level when he was younger. 

Justin's all-time stats at Leicester

  • 169 appearances
  • 11 goals
  • 7 assists

"I think for him as well, for the player as well, it'd be a great move.

"Bogle will have some competition for the right-back position, and I think he would be a really, really good, astute, clever signing for Leeds if they could do it."

What else do Leeds need to do before 1 September?

Justin will be a smart addition, though Leeds will still have one or two more players to bring in if they are to have the best chance at surviving.

Firstly, a new winger is going to be essential, and while Leeds links to Dilane Bakwa aren't going away, it is looking increasingly likely that they will have to look elsewhere.

Any other business will largely be determined by market availability in the latter stages of the window, with several players almost certainly set to become deadweight at their current clubs.
