Leeds United midfielder comments on January transfer window and the club’s promotion chances.
Republic of Ireland midfielder Eunan O’Kane says that the current Leeds squad have enough ability to push for promotion to the Premier League without new additions in January.
The 27-year-old midfielder says he doesn’t have any clue about the club’s January transfer plans, as that is something that depends on the powerful people at the club.
However, he is confident about the current strength of the United squad. He insists that Leeds are capable of challenging for promotion even without extra recruitment as the group already possess the tools required to be successful in the league.
Leeds suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Birmingham City and drew 0-0 against Nottingham Forest during the busy festive period.
They are currently sixth in the Championship table, and manager Thomas Christiansen will be hoping to regain the momentum once again.
When asked if it was important to strengthen the squad in the January transfer window, he told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “I don’t know. That’s not something that I have even considered or thought about.
“As players, we keep our heads down and if people come through the door then you welcome them as they are here to help us and to propel us forward. If they don’t and the club for whatever reason don’t add people then we have a good squad, we have good players and we are confident in what we are.
“But I think we have got a very good squad here and we have the tools to be successful in this league and to move higher up than that sixth position.
Meanwhile, Leeds have signed Finland’s under-19s centre-back Aapo Halme from HJK Helsinki for the club’s development squad.
