With Leeds United flying high in the Championship the club will soon be looking to strengthen the club in January in order to push on to promotion.

However, some players will also have to leave the club.

Here are three players Leeds should send out on loan in January…

Tyler Denton

The left-back scored on his Leeds United debut earlier this season, netting in a 1-0 win against Luton Town in the EFL Cup.

The 21-year-old was rewarded with a new contract at the club but first-team football still looks unlikely.

Charlie Taylor is ahead of him in the pecking order. He can put a lot of his success down to a loan spell at Fleetwood Town and a similar sort of deal for Denton could help him improve.

Luke Murphy

The midfielder is simply too good to not be playing regular football, but not currently good enough for this Leeds team.

His contract at Leeds does not expire until 2019 and therefore the club have plenty of leverage when it comes to selling the player.

Waiting for a deal in the summer would be best but a temporary spell away could certainly put him in the shop window.

Eoghan Stokes

The Irishman signed a fresh deal at Leeds in the summer but is not yet in the first-team picture.

At 20-years-old he could certainly benefit from a spell out on loan to enhance his game.
