One probably is no longer required while another could still be worth adding.
Leeds United’s impressive start to the season has left the Whites in a healthy position at the top of the Championship.
There is still an opportunity for them to strengthen further if they choose to look at the dwindling pool of free agents.
This may be tempting considering the fact Leeds have already been linked with two of the players without clubs.
The first of these, is long linked summer target Jerry Mbakogu.
Leeds were linked with signing the striker from Carpi in the summer before manager Marcelo Bielsa ripped up the agreement which was in place with the Italian side, the Yorkshire Evening Post reported.
Carpi responded by releasing the striker.
Leeds have Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts still waiting to make an impact behind Kemar Roofe so Mbakogu likely won’t be required unless injury strikes one of their key men.
It is either curious or telling that Mbakogu remains a free agent.
The second player, who may be of more interest, is centre-back Diego Polenta.
The 26-year-old Uruguayan defender was released by Nacional in his homeland earlier in the summer and is yet to decide on his next move.
Uruguayan newspaper Ovacion reported in July that Leeds had made him an offer, which he had rejected.
Perhaps now with the calendar reaching September, Polenta may be convinced to accept a second offer if it comes his way.
Leeds are light on centre-back options and the former Genoa defender would strengthen the Whites in a position they failed to address in the late August loan window.
An injury scare to Gaetano Berardi over the weekend could force the Whites into scouring the market for further back-up.
