According to the Daily Mail, Leeds United have prepped agents by suggesting that only outfield loan signings will be made.

Leeds are looking to bring in a goalkeeper in January on a permanent deal, but that may be the only long-term transfer they look to complete, with Marcelo Bielsa fairly satisfied with his options.

Bielsa has insisted to the press that Leeds would do minimal business next month, but there have been some at Elland Road who felt these comments were a smokescreen.

Many Leeds fans felt that new additions would be made, especially with Samu Saiz departing.

Leeds United's Samu Saiz holds off the challenge from Nottingham Forest's Jack Colback at Elland Road on October 27, 2018 in Leeds, England.

However, Leeds have informed agents that they will only be looking for loan signings for outfield players.

The Whites may well look to bring in an attacking midfielder and a defender in January, but they will only be to plug the gaps in their squad on a short-term basis.

Leeds are currently top of the Championship table, and Bielsa has seemingly decided that unsettling his squad in January is a risk not worth taking.
