Leeds United are far better-placed going into 2025 than they were 12 months ago. Sunday’s hard-fought 1-0 win at Derby County means Daniel Farke’s men will be top of the Championship when the January transfer window opens for business, with many tipping them as hot favourites to stay there until May.
A balanced squad and well-managed fitness levels have left Leeds in good health but while Farke expects a quiet month in LS11, recruitment chiefs will surely be weighing up an addition or two. There is also interest in the current crop from elsewhere which will have to be managed.
Speculation has been heating up in recent weeks and is set to go into overdrive once the window opens on Wednesday. So ahead of that likely chaos, the YEP has rounded up the latest on every recent Whites transfer story.
