Leeds United missed out on signing Omar Bogle, who moved to Wigan Athletic instead.

Leeds United fans have reacted with frustration, after Omar Bogle netted twice on his first Wigan Athletic start against Norwich City.

Leeds were linked with Bogle in the January transfer window, while he was playing for Grimsby Town.

However, the Whites decided against making a move for the in-form striker, and ended up bringing in two wingers on loan.

Leeds decided that they would snap up both Alfonso Pedraza and Modou Barrow on temporary moves until the end of the season on deadline day, but they failed to do any more business.

And Bogle’s start at Wigan has left Leeds fans wondering what might have been, if they had got the 24-year-old.

Garry Monk is known to have wanted to add another striker to his squad at Leeds, with the Yorkshire side currently having a lack of cover for Chris Wood.
