Leeds United summer target Jordan Graham is enduring a difficult time with Championship rivals Fulham.
Towards the end of the summer transfer window, the Daily Mail reported that Leeds and Fulham were among the four sides looking at Wolves winger Jordan Graham in the hope of signing him on loan.
Graham would ultimately end the window as a Fulham player, but based on how life at Craven Cottage has started for the winger, he may perhaps be wishing – if they did confirm their interest with a bid – that he instead picked a move to Leeds.
The talented wide-man – who has had to cope with a nightmare time with injury over the last couple of years – has made just one substitute appearance for the Cottagers so far, and has been an unused substitute in their last three Championship games.
Meanwhile, despite their brilliant start to the season, Leeds have gone off the boil in recent weeks, losing their last three and four of their last five in the league.
One of their main problems has undoubtedly been the lack of creativity coming from the three players playing off the sole striker.
Apart from Samuel Saiz perhaps, it appears that few of those attacking players are making a strong case to Thomas Christiansen that they should remain in the team – so the Whites may also be ruing not bringing Graham in.
On his day, he is capable of giving full-backs some real headaches, so he may have been a fantastic option to have to try and give Pierre-Michel Lasogga more service.
Hadi Sacko’s bright display when he came on against Reading at the weekend showed the potential problems genuine wingers could cause, so perhaps both Leeds and Graham himself may now be wishing that the final hours of the transfer window had played out differently.
