Sky Sports share new Leeds United transfer update after latest bid made
Leeds United are now looking for defensive options in the winter transfer window, according to Sky Sports.
The broadcaster revealed the Whites are seeking reinforcements to their backline before the 3 February deadline as they try to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League.
The Elland Road club are also looking for a striker after a loan bid for Southampton star Cameron Archer was rejected on 30 January.
Daniel Farke’s side are currently top of the Championship table, two points clear of Sheffield United and three ahead of Burnley.
Will Leeds United strengthen in the transfer window?
Time is running out for the Whites to strengthen in the winter transfer window as the deadline rapidly approaches.
The Elland Road club have a strong squad but a few additions to strengthen would be the cherry on top and make promotion almost certain.
An injury crisis in defence could derail the Yorkshire side’s promotion push so it makes sense if they are looking for defensive cover.

Ethan Ampadu has been forced to play at centre-back alongside Joe Rodon after Pascal Struijk’s latest injury blow, so reinforcements are necessary.
An injury in attack would not be as devastating as the Whites have plenty of options to score goals with Dan James, Largie Ramazani, Wilfried Gnonto, and Manor Solomon able to contribute as well as Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe up front.
Signings in the winter window could be the difference between automatic promotion and having to settle for a playoff place given the razor-close nature of the second tier.
In other Leeds news, Whites officials are reportedly baffled by reports linking the club with a Newcastle star.
