Two additions were always the hope for Leeds United coming into January’s transfer window and yet there is now a clear need for one more. A striker and a left-back were the obvious gaps in last summer’s recruitment drive from Victor Orta, so fulfilling those requirements was a prerequisite for January.
Max Wober is in at left-back, while Georginio Rutter appears to be edging closer as their nominated forward option. Leeds need a midfielder too. Mateusz Klich’s exit and Jesse Marsch’s new formation have made it an essential part of this month.
The 32-year-old may have made 14 appearances for the Whites this season, but none of them were starts and he ended up playing just 82 minutes more than Daniel James. James has not been seen since September 1.
