GOOD NEWS FOR LEEDS UNITED;He has decided to return in January transfer…
Leeds United have enjoyed a strong, albeit imperfect, start to the 2024/25 Championship campaign as they currently sit fifth in the division after nine games.
The Whites have only lost one of their opening nine matches in the league, a 1-0 defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor, and should be pleased with their resilience thus far.
However, they have only won four of the other eight games, drawing four times along the way, and that is why they remain outside of the top two.
Their latest draw came in the final game before the October international break. A dreadful error from goalkeeper Illan Meslier in the 97th minute cost them two points at the Stadium of Light, as they were held to a 2-2 draw on Wearside.
Daniel Farke has had plenty to contend with, though, as the likes of Georginio Rutter, Archie Gray, Glen Kamara, and Crysencio Summerville moved on from West Yorkshire in the summer transfer window.
The German head coach has also lost midfielders Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu to long-term knee injuries, leaving him light in the middle of the park.
With the January transfer window coming up, the former Norwich boss is reportedly looking to add more depth to his options at the heart of the defence.
Leeds eyeing up £4m colossus
Leeds have been looking to seal a move for free-agent midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate in recent days but he’s not the only player on their radar. That’s according to the Mirror, the Whites are one of a number of clubs interested in signing FCSB central defender Joyskim Dawa after the turn of the year.
The report claims that Leeds are keeping tabs on the 28-year-old centre-back’s progress with the Romanian outfit ahead of a potential swoop for his services in 2025.
