Leeds United is reportedly pursuing Manuel Benson from Burnley, competing with Southampton for the winger. Daniel Farke’s team recently won 2-1 against Preston North End.
The visitors took the lead at Elland Road after only two minutes when Will Keane diverted a miss-hit shot into the back of the net from five yards away.
But Daniel James leveled the score four minutes later, driving home at the back post from a beautifully floated cross.
Joel Piroe converted from 12 yards in stoppage time to give the home team the victory.
With automatic promotion back to the Premier League on the line, Farke will understand how vital this victory was and will be looking to bring in some January reinforcements to boost their promotion push in the second half of the season.
According to Football Insider, the club is close to signing Burnley winger Benson, who is also a target for Southampton.
According to the source, Leeds is negotiating a loan agreement until the end of the season for the 26-year-old, who will provide much-needed depth to the team.
Wilfried Gnonto could leave Elland Road this month, with West Ham linked to the Italian winger.
