The Leeds United issues that have gone unresolved in the January transfer window

Transfer deadline day looks set to be quiet on the Leeds United front and under-23s striker Mateo Joseph was the window's only new recruit heading into the last day of the month.

Leeds had been hoping to sign Red Bull Salzburg's US international midfielder Brenden Aaronson but bids of £15m and £20m were not accepted by the Austrian side.

Heading into the final day of the window, it meant that aside from the arrival of Joseph, the only other transfer business had involved the loan exits of Cody Drameh to Cardiff City, Josh Galloway to FC United of Manchester United, Bobby Kamwa to Dunfermline Athletic and Ryan Edmondson to Port Vale.

But if that proves to be United's lot, then what issues would still persist following the 11pm deadline? We take a look.
