12 players Leeds United were linked with throughout the January transfer window

Leeds United had the month of January to bolster Marcelo Bielsa's squad for their assault on the second half of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign.

The Whites have opted not to make any major moves in the winter window despite the club's ongoing injury woes.

Leeds have been linked with a host of names and did try extremely hard to land the signature of United States international Brenden Aaronson.

Employers Red Bull Salzburg, though, declined the Whites advances for his services - with two official bids in excess of £15m rebuffed.

Victor Orta saw his attempts to lure the midfielder to West Yorkshire knocked back but Leeds do hold a strong belief they may be able to land his signature in the forthcoming summer.

United did land the arrival of youngster Mateo Joseph from Espanyol to boost the youth ranks at Thorp Arch in their one addition.

Here, we take a look at a number of names to be linked with a move to Elland Road this month... let us know which players you would have liked to see arrive:
