FarkeDaniel Farke, the manager of Leeds United, stated that his team might not make any moves during the January transfer window, but there may be more to it than that.
Although talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook told GIVEMESPORT that Leeds United might be busier than he’s letting on, manager Daniel Farke has hinted that his team might not be too busy during the January transfer window.
The Whites may need to make calculated additions during the winter transfer window to improve their chances of returning to the Premier League quickly. Crook thinks otherwise, despite Farke’s attempts to temper Elland Road supporters’ hopes by implying that the Yorkshire team may be going through a quiet period.
Leeds, who are now seven points behind in fourth place, now have the difficult challenge of overcoming Southampton, Ipswich Town, and Leicester City to clinch automatic promotion.
Although Leicester leads the pack by a comfortable 10-point margin, second place is still up for grabs for any club that can continue their strong run of play.
Farke predicts a calm January.
Although the Yorkshire team might require additional players this month, Farke has hinted that Leeds may have a quiet and uneventful window.
“For example, I anticipate a much more tranquil and quiet January to the final transfer period. Though we won’t go to sleep, we will make decisions when they need to be made, and you never know what will happen.” We hope for a calm January.
Journalist Dean Jones stated in an interview with GIVEMESPORT that signing a full-back might be one of Leeds‘ top goals for the current transfer window. Farke has employed a variety of strategies during his tenure at the team, and the Whites may have a dilemma at the position now that Djed Spence has left to rejoin Tottenham Hotspur.With the January transfer market being fully open, links to specific players are beginning to surface, which may indicate that Farke and his hiring team are slightly busier than he has indicated. Burnley right-back Connor Roberts is allegedly a target for the Yorkshire club, according to Darren Witcoop. Considering that Spence has returned north, a move for the Welshman would make sense.
Leeds may try to transfer winger David Brooks from Bournemouth to Elland Road on loan as the team is known to think highly of him. But Southampton, another team vying for promotion, will undoubtedly present a challenge, so sealing the deal might not be simple.
Alex Crook: January may be a hectic month for Leeds
Crook asserted that Leeds’ recruitment team might be busy in the January window and that they might be pretty aggressive with some of the signings they make, despite Farke‘s suggestion to the contrary. They will ‘go for it’ in the market since they now have a great chance of getting promoted back to the Premier League, the talkSPORT reporter continues. Crook stated in an interview with GIVEMESPORT.
“Its interesting because the manager said they’re not going to do much to this window because he’s happy with his squad. But I’ve been told by people actually they’re going to be quite ambitious. They think they’ve got a great chance of getting in the Premier League, so they’re going to go for it. You mentioned David Brooks, Chris Mepham of Bournemouth is someone else I think they admire. Having sent Djed Spence back, you’d have thought they’ve got a full-back lined up. So I think Leeds might be a lot more active than Daniel Farke is laying on.”
Leeds desperate to keep their main player
Crucial talent Crysencio Summerville is one of the main reasons Leeds is vying for the top spot in the Championship this year, and they are anxious to keep him. It would be disastrous for Farke to lose the Dutch youth international, who has scored 12 goals and contributed six assists so far this season.
Burnley and Aston Villa are two of the teams that have expressed interest in purchasing Summerville, according to a recent report by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. The former had a £20 million deal rejected in the summer. Journalist Jones has informed GIVEMESPORT that Leeds does not plan to permit him to go this month, and the Yorkshire club will just need to hope and pray that no offer is made. The respected reporter makes this claim.
