Sky Sports pundit suggests a weakness in Tottenham Hotspur squad
Leeds have a good squad, and perhaps the signing of Bogle would have been a good move. Bringing in a striker to support Chris Wood for the rest of the season would have enhanced the Whites’ chances of finishing in the top six of the Championship this season.
The Whites are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 54 points from 30 matches. The West Yorkshire outfit are genuine contenders for the playoffs this season.
Leeds will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Cardiff City at Elland Road in the Championship.
