According to the Yorkshire Evening Post there are three transfers which Leeds United are looking at this month.

Leeds are yet to make an addition in January, with Marcelo Bielsa’s squad actually being reduced in numbers.

Leeds have loaned out Paudie O’Connor and Connor Shaughnessy, while Lewis Baker is set to be recalled by Chelsea (YEP).

There is some concern from Leeds fans that they could now be left short of numbers over the second half of the campaign.

However, the Whites are considering making new signings this month.

Bielsa has previously played down Leeds’ transfer plans, but behind the scenes there is a willingness to search for some fresh faces.

Leeds have reportedly made adding a new goalkeeper their main priority in the coming weeks, but they are also interested in improving in attack.

Leeds would like a new number 10 and a winger is also being looked at, as Bielsa’s side look to make the necessary additions to ensure they keep up their push for promotion.
