Leeds United should look at bringing Swansea City duo Leroy Fer and Wilfried Bony to Elland Road in January, as well as West Ham United stopper Adrian.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa will surely be keen to bolster his ranks at Elland Road during the January transfer window, in a bid to guide his side to promotion back to the Premier League this season,
The problem for the Argentine, however, is that it is highly doubtful that he will have too much money to splash out, so he will have to be thrifty in his player recruitment.
With this in mind, here are three potential targets for Leeds, and with their contracts set to expire in the summer, they could be available for a cut-price fee next month…
Leroy Fer:
The Swansea City midfielder is out of contract in the summer, and Bielsa should not hesitate to bring him to Elland Road.
The 28-year-old has a great knack of scoring goals from the middle of the park, and that could prove to be vital to Leeds’ hopes of finishing inside the top two.
Bielsa’s side are in desperate need of more productivity and attacking output from midfield, and the Swansea City man could be just the ticket.
Wilfried Bony:
The 30-year-old has hardly featured for the Swans this season, and the Welsh outfit would surely be tempted to sell him in January, rather than lose him for nothing six months later.
The Ivorian is a great finisher, with his 144 career goals being testament to this. He is also very powerful, and could act as a fantastic focal point for Leeds’ attacking play.
Adrian:
Bielsa’s need for another goalkeeper is no secret, and Hammers stopper Adrian would be the perfect January addition for the west Yorkshire outfit.
The 31-year-old is a very dependable goalkeeper, and he would provide much need experienced competition for Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
Whilst it might be hard to sign all three, Bielsa should certainly explore the possibility of bringing them to Elland Road next month.
Leeds are expected to go on and secure promotion this season, and if they sign any of the above mentioned players, they would surely be in a great position from which to do just that.
