Leeds United are in the market for Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson during this January window, but it could prove to be a transfer period in which the Whites miss out on their top target as the deadline grows ever nearer.
It may feel like deja vu to many Leeds supporters, having endured disappointing transfer windows of seasons past where the same elusive names are repeated on end, only for them to move elsewhere or stay put.
The hope is Brenden Aaronson's situation will not develop into a similar saga, but he is the name on supporters' lips heading into the final few days of the window.
