Leeds United have been linked to two cracking players.
There’s well under a week left in January and it’s been an okay transfer window for Leeds United so far. They have addressed their obvious need for a goalkeeper by bringing in Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid on an 18-month deal [BBC Sport].
But there still might be work to do for top-of-the-table Leeds to win promotion – and a double deal for Stefan Johansen and Ivan Cavaleiro would be a phenomenal way to finish the month.
According to The Sun, Leeds are lining up a loan for Wolves winger Cavaleiro, while Team Talk have claimed that playmaker Johansen is one of three Fulham players on the radar.
Signing one would be great. Both, and United would be the envy of the whole Championship.
With Samu Saiz gone, Marcelo Bielsa badly needs a number 10 and Johansen, who scored eight and set up nine in helping the Cottagers to promotion last term, would be a fantastic addition.
And then there’s the Wolves star, who grabbed nine goals and 12 assists to help Nuno Espirito Santo’s side reach the promised land last term.
If both deals were to materialise then Leeds could line up with Cavaleiro and Hernandez either side of Bielsa’s top goalscorer Kemar Roofe, with Johansen in behind.
Is there a better front-four in the Championship? Arguably not and if there’s a chance of signing both, Bielsa must take it.
