Leeds United still have work to do on transfer deadline day.

Leeds United are hoping to make one final push before the transfer deadline.

The Whites are top of the Championship table and one or two more signings could end up making the difference in the promotion race.

It could be a busy 24 hours at Elland Road.

Here are three deals which could go ahead.

Dan James

Daniel James of Swansea City in action during the FA Cup Fourth Round match between Swansea City and Gillingham at the Liberty Stadium on January 26, 2019 in Swansea, Wales.

Widely reported to be Leeds’ top target, the Yorkshire Evening Post report the club are pushing ahead to try and agree a fee with Swansea City for the winger.

James started and scored for Swansea last night, complicating matters by highlighting his importance to the Swans.

The Wales international would lessen Leeds’ dependency on teenager Jack Clarke and give Marcelo Bielsa more attacking options.

Neeskens Kebano

Neeskens Kebano of Fulham during the FA Cup Third Round match between Fulham FC and Oldham Athletic at Craven Cottage on January 6, 2019 in London, United Kingdom.

The Birmingham Mail reported at the weekend that Leeds were one of a number of Championship sides tracking Kebano.

The Fulham winger would be a solid fall back option for Dan James and is surplus to requirements at Fulham.

Kebano was an unused substitute last night in Fulham’s win over Brighton.

Stefan Johansen

Stefan Johansen of Fulham FC looks on during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Fulham FC at Stamford Bridge on December 2, 2018 in London, United Kingdom.

Teamtalk reported Leeds hold interest in Fulham playmaker Stefan Johansen.

This would be a departure from Leeds’ strategy to sign a winger, adding a more direct replacement for Samu Saiz instead.

Johansen has not played for Fulham since December 15.
