"Leeds have not been shy about spending the cash so far and it’s a good sign that they are tooling up over several different positions with the likes of Brenden Aaronson in midfield plus Marc Roca and Rasmus Kristensen at right-back,” Prutton writes.
“There are some very exotic names coming in but Leeds have got to make sure that they work and function as a team.
“That was a real bugbear in the last couple of windows but particularly in January but Leeds have been very proactive whereas before it has often been a bit of a wait and see.”
