As one of Leeds United’s promotion rivals receives a large proposal for a prominent player, the most recent transfer rumors from across the Championship.
This week marks the halfway point of the January transfer market, and Leeds United is yet to finalize their first deal.
Although they have been connected to players like Andrew Omobamidele of Nottingham Forest, Louie Barry of Aston Villa, and Mergim Berisha of Hoffenheim, the Whites have not added any new players to their roster, which Daniel Farke hopes will help them earn promotion to the Premier League.
Leeds has not yet approved any outgoing transactions, so things are still as they are. However, Joe Gelhardt is rumored to be nearing a move to Hull City, and a loan agreement might be finalized within the next 48 hours.
Since Sunderland, who are now three points and three places behind the Whites at the top of the table, completed the eye-catching loan acquisition of Roma midfielder Enzo Le Fee, several Leeds’ promotion rivals have made moves. As they attempt to catch the Whites, Burnley has secured the return of former striker Ashley Barnes, and Norwich City has loaned Aston Villa youngster Lewis Dobbin following a similar stint at West Bromwich Albion.
With ten goals in 28 games this season, the former Atalanta and St Gallen forward has been a major factor in keeping Michael Carrick‘s team in the running for at least a play-off berth. Latte Lath scored 18 goals in 36 games in all competitions the previous season, which led to that. Before his team’s FA Cup loss at the hands of Blackburn Rovers, Carrick was questioned about the rumors and remained reticent.
“You never know what’s out there and what’s coming—who’s going to offer what,” he remarked. That applies to all players, not just Manu. Anyone can make any offer during this transfer window.
Therefore, it doesn’t really matter or have any bearing on whether I sit here and say that I’m confident or not [in keeping him] because we can’t predict the future. We want to maintain our current squad as much as possible since we are delighted with it.
Following reports that Daniel Farke is eager to bolster his forward ranks before to the January transfer window closing early next month, Leeds has also been linked to a bid for the Boro forward.
