Would Queens Park Rangers’ Jake Bidwell and Preston North End’s Jordan Hugill be good signings for Leeds United in the January transfer window?

Noel Whelan has suggested to BBC Radio Leeds that Queens Park Rangers defender Jake Bidwell and Preston North End forward Jordan Hugill would be good signings for Leeds United in the January transfer window.

Bidwell is one of the best left-backs in the Championship, and the 24-year-old QPR star can also operate as a left-sided midfielder.

Hugill has been on the books of Preston since 2014 and is playing relatively well in the Championship at the moment.

The 25-year-old forward has scored six goals and provided one assist in 19 Championship starts for Preston so far this season.

During the 2016-17 campaign, the Englishman scored 12 goals and provided two assists in 35 league starts for the Lilywhites.

Whelan has suggested that both Bidwell and Hugill would be good signings for Leeds in the January transfer window.

When asked whether Bidwell and Hugill would be good signings for the West Yorkshire outfit, former Leeds striker Whelan told BBC Radio Leeds: “Bidwell, yeah, fantastic player. Hugill, well, I have always said he is a man wanted by many, many Championship clubs.”

Leeds won 3-1 against QPR away from home at Loftus Road in the Championship last weekend and are back in the race for the playoffs.

Thomas Christiansen’s side are seventh in the league table at the moment with 33 points from 21 matches, just four points behind sixth-placed Sheffield United.
