Leeds United have enjoyed a fine season so far, but they are still likely to add to their ranks in the January transfer window. The Whites currently sit within eight points of the top two, and they will be sensing opportunity after reducing the gap to leaders Leicester City by six points over the last two games alone.
Daniel Farke is likely to be handed at least a couple more new signings in the winter window, while there could yet be further outgoings after a busy summer on that front. With that in mind, we have put together a possible starting XI for Leeds after the January window based on recent transfer rumours. Take a look below.

Meslier has been linked with a move away, but a stay seems more likely, especially if Leeds remain on track for promotion through the festive fixtures. | Getty Images
2. LB - Junior Firpo
Sam Byram will have something to say about this, but we're backing a Firpo resurgence. | Getty Images
3. CB - Liam Cooper
We'll put Cooper in here, based on the fact Pascal Struijk has been heavily linked with an exit. | Getty Images
5. RB - Archie Gray
It's hard to look past Gray at right-back currently. He has been linked with an exit but it seems unlikely the Whites would allow him to leave without a huge offer. | Getty Images
