Fans Disbelief as Leeds United boards ‘sack two staff’ after meeting with Daniel Farke over new signing end in crisis
Leeds United enter the January transfer window with a clearer sense of purpose, placing increased focus on enhancing their attacking options as they aim to strengthen their fight for Premier League survival.
The Whites have already acted to improve their forward ranks, securing Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton after he rejected a similar move last summer.
That push for further attacking reinforcements has been intensified by recent tactical changes. The move to a 5-3-2 system has placed added emphasis on having a consistent goalscorer, while limited depth in forward areas has further exposed the need for additional attacking support.
Leeds have ruled out signing Werder Bremen’s Romano Schmid following Buonanotte’s arrival. However, they are still in the mix for another player they wanted to sign last summer.
Leeds United retain a strong interest in Harry Wilson, who wants to leave Fulham
Wilson was close to joining Leeds on deadline day last summer until Fulham pulled the plug on a deal with minutes left in the last transfer window.
He has been Fulham’s most potent attacking threat and played three key passes despite being average against Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday.
Fulham boss Marco Silva has been pushing him to sign a new contract. However, according to TEAMTalk, Wilson wants to return to the north of England.
He is keen to leave Fulham, and Everton, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest are interested in getting their hands on the winger in January or next summer on a free transfer.
However, Leeds still retain a strong interest in signing Wilson after missing out on him on the final day of the transfer window last summer.
Buonanotte’s arrival has not affected Leeds’ interest in Wilson despite the focus being on signing a striker before the end of the ongoing transfer window.
Leeds’ interest in Wilson makes sense
Wilson was open to a move to Leeds last year and, provided the club remain in the Premier League, there is little reason to believe he would not be keen on a summer switch.
The Welsh international has been an influential figure for Fulham, underlining why Marco Silva is so determined to keep hold of the winger during the current transfer window.
Even in a below-par Fulham display against Leeds, Wilson stood out as one of their more effective performers, creating three key chances despite a quiet team showing.
Should he become available on a free transfer, it would make perfect sense for Leeds to explore bringing him to Elland Road in the summer. His arrival would add valuable Premier League experience and provide the squad with another high-quality, versatile attacking option.
Leeds United is gearing up for a busy January transfer window, with a focus on bolstering their attacking options to improve their chances of Premier League survival. Manager Daniel Farke is looking to add more firepower to the team, and several targets are emerging.
*Top Transfer Targets:*
– *Jorgen Strand Larsen*: Leeds is interested in signing the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker, valued at £40 million. This would be a significant boost to their attacking lineup.
– *Promise David*: The Canadian striker is shining for Union SG, with 12 goals in all competitions. His physical presence and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive target.
– *Romano Schmid*: Leeds is in talks with Werder Bremen for the services of the Austria international attacking midfielder, with a potential deal worth €15m plus add-ons.
– *Ben Brereton Diaz*: The Blackburn Rovers striker has been linked with a move to Elland Road, with his goalscoring form making him a desirable addition.
– *Ermedin Demirovic*: Stuttgart’s striker is another option, having scored 15 league goals last season ¹ ² ³.
The club is also looking to offload some players, with Joel Piroe and Wilfried Gnonto potentially leaving to make way for new signings. With the transfer window underway, Leeds fans will be eagerly watching developments.
