Leeds United are also looking to bring in some new faces.

Leeds United continued their good form in the Championship this afternoon, beating Rotherham United 3-0 at Elland Road.

A brace from Chris Wood and a header from Kyle Bartley did the trick for Leeds whose good form continues.

The January transfer window is of course now open and rumours are already starting regarding his and the club’s plans regarding recruitment.

He confirmed to BBC Radio Leeds his plans to bring in a couple of new faces, whilst he also made it clear nobody would be leaving.

Monk stated:

“We do need one or two to help this group.

“The club are aware of that and they are working hard behind the scenes. January’s a very tricky window. Sometimes you want to get business done but it can’t be done quick. But the club is working extremely hard, like they did in the summer.

“One or two, nothing drastic.

“I am more than confident (nobody will be leaving) this is Leeds United, we’re a big club. There will be no players leaving!”

Leeds fans will be pleased to hear they are certain of keeping players, Monk including potential permanent moves for loanees Pontus Jansson and Pablo Hernandez in that bracket. Charlie Taylor’s future at the club has also been in doubt recently – with his contract running out in the summer.

Leeds have also been linked with several strikers to help Wood out up front and it will be interesting to see just how Leeds do go about improving their squad in the January transfer window.

But if they can keep hold of Taylor and bring in a new striker, Leeds fans won’t be disappointed.
