Before the winter transfer window closes, Leeds United is eager to reinforce Daniel Farke’s defense, and they have identified a number of possible additions.
Djed Spence, a fullback who had a bad loan stint at Elland Road, was called up to Tottenham Hotspur last week, meaning Leeds lost him. Since then, the former Middlesbrough player has been traded for Radu Dragusin by Genoa.
In addition, the Whites finalized the sale of their long-serving employee Luke Ayling, who moved to Boro on loan until the end of the season, so completing his tenure in Yorkshire. The Scotland international only has six months left on his current contract.
Leeds United appears eager to address the situation despite having a slight shortage of fullbacks. The Peacocks were reportedly interested in acquiring Burnley right-back Connor Roberts and Bournemouth center-half Chris Mepham this month, according to Darren Witcoop‘s report on Wednesday.
But now, according to HITC, the Whites have contacted West Ham United about potentially signing fullback Ben Johnson, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign.
According to the CIES Football Observatory, Johnson’s market value has dropped to £4 million. Johnson, who won the Europa Conference League title with the Hammers the previous season, has only appeared six times for the East London team this season.
