Leeds United set to make double transfer push in January window
Leeds United are already planning on making two new transfers during the upcoming January transfer window, according to Dean Jones.
The journalist who has written for EuroSport and Bleacher Report has insisted that Jesse Marsch will bring in those faces to help his squad remain competitive.
There are two clear areas that need addressing at Elland Road, with the fans calling for a new left-back and striker for months, if not years now.
Speaking to GIVE ME SPORT, Jones shared what is already in the works for after the World Cup with transfer already on the eye at Elland Road.
“There are still steps to be made in this squad build,” he said.
“I know that Jesse Marsch is looking to make a couple of signings in that January window, and I think that those signings will help with this need to remain competitive.”
Get it done.
This is where we went extremely wrong last season.
Clubs made signings and Leeds simply sat still while their whole squad picked up big injuries with the likes of Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips all ruled out.
That was Marcelo Bielsa though and it was ultimately his downfall as the failure to bring in Brenden Aaronson at the time saw Leeds stand still rather than being proactive.
Orta will be working hard with his scouting list always getting bigger with each day, and when you think of two signings, you think of that new left-back and another number nine.
Bamford has proven this season that his sharpness has gone, missing sitters at Brentford and Crystal Palace already without finding the back of the net.
Marsch knows that his squad still needs strengthening, with this rebuild still in the middle of taking shape, as more points are certainly needed in the Premier League.
Bring it on.
