Three positions Leeds United need to strengthen in the summer as Jesse Marsch looks to make mark

With the summer transfer window fast approaching, Jesse Marsch will no doubt have one eye on the end of the season as he gets set to strengthen his ranks. Leeds United didn't make a senior signing in January, with Marcelo Bielsa preferring to stick with a smaller squad but it proved to catch up with him in the end when he was sacked after three-and-a-half years in charge.

The Whites have suffered a number of injury worries this season, with Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford and Liam Cooper all missing more than three months of action. This has meant under-23s have had to step up in their absences. Sam Greenwood, Joe Gelhardt and Charlie Cresswell are amongst those to step up from the academy and into the first-team this term.

However, Marsch has managed to guide the Whites to two victories from his opening four matches and has seemingly changed the mentality around the dressing room after a disappointing run under Bielsa. Back-to-back wins over Wolves and Norwich have lifted Leeds seven points clear of the relegation zone.
