Pivotal period could force Leeds United change of tack in January window

Leeds United moved quickly and decisively to secure their targets in the summer transfer window. The Whites identified the need to add to their squad after a season of strife and they wasted no time in doing exactly that.

Brenden Aaronson was landed just a few days after survival had been secured and he was joined at Elland Road by Rasmus Kristensen and Marc Roca before pre-season had even began. Darko Gyabi, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra were completed prior to the club’s pre-season trip to Australia and that gave Jesse Marsch the time needed to integrate the new arrivals before the Premier League season got underway.

The window wasn’t a complete success, though, with late moves for Cody Gakpo and Bamba Dieng falling through after recognising the need to push for an attacking player. United did eventually secure young Italy international Wilfried Gnonto to ensure the club could be relatively content with their window as they reflected on September 2.
