Leeds United currently have just two senior centre-backs in their squad.

Leeds United boss Thomas Christiansen’s latest tweet has been greeted with a host of supporters who want him to bring in a new centre-back at Elland Road.

Leeds have just two senior centre-backs available to them at the moment, in the form of Pontus Jansson and Liam Cooper.

Although Luke Ayling also filled in in the centre of Leeds’ defence last term, he is more comfortable at right-back.

And Leeds fans are now demanding that Christiansen hurries through the signing of a central defender.

Leeds were beaten 3-0 by Bursaspor yesterday, in a contest where Cooper struggled.

And Leeds fans now appear to want Cooper to replaced by a new signing in the starting line-up.

Leeds have already been active in the transfer window, but most of their additions have been in midfield or up-front so far.

The Whites still have plenty of time until the new campaign starts, with their first fixture coming against Bolton Wanderers in August.
