Ryan Edmondson - Fleetwood Town

Recent rumours suggest that Fleetwood are preparing to end Edmondson’s stay in Lancashire in January after the young striker has failed to make an impact.

The 20-year-old arrived at Highbury Stadium in July for a loan that is due to last until the end of the 2021/2022 season.

But the attacker has failed to register any goals or assists in ten appearances for Simon Grayson’s side, and the former Leeds United boss left Edmondson out of the squad altogether for Fleetwood’s League One clash with Wycombe.

Edmondson took to social media to dispel the rumours.

“Would be amazing to see who these sources are,” the striker tweeted, with crying laughing and facepalm emojis.

Mateusz Bogusz - UD Ibiza

Bogusz has excelled for Ibiza so far this season. The young Pole has grabbed the attention of Leeds’ fans with a couple of eye-catching goals, and after ten La Liga 2 appearances, Bogusz feels very much at home at his loan side.

“It suits me,” the 20-year-old told Super Express. “It suits my style. If I could, I would like to stay in Spain.”

It’s a move that could work for both clubs, as reports in Polish media suggest that Leeds are happy to let Bogusz go permanently on the condition that a £7million buy-back clause is a feature of the deal.

Ian Poveda - Blackburn Rovers

Poveda has had a fitful start to life at Blackburn. In Rovers’ last game, Poveda was brought on by Tony Mowbray in the dying minutes of a 2-1 victory, and the young winger played just three minutes as the Lancashire side held out for the win.

After registering an assist on his debut, Poveda has failed to make a significant impact at Blackburn.

Costa had a slow start to life at Valencia but is now working his way into José Bordalás’ starting eleven.

The winger’s failure to gain minutes in the early stages of the season were reportedly due to Costa’s need to understand Los Che’s tactics.
