Leeds United are trialing an unnamed German footballer this week after their deal for Cheikhou Kouyate collapsed due to a failed medical.
With key players like Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev injured until next year, manager Daniel Farke is keen to add midfield options before January.
Leeds currently sit 5th in the Championship and are searching for consistency as Farke navigates multiple injury problems.
Leeds also plan to target a new goalkeeper in January amid concerns over Illan Meslier’s recent performances.
Leeds Facing Injury Woes
Leeds have been struggling with midfield injuries. Captain Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev are both out until next year with knee injuries, leaving the team short on options.
Farke hopes the trial of the German player will provide a solution to their squad issues before the January transfer window.
The club is also keen to sign a new goalkeeper as Illan Meslier’s form has raised doubts among the coaching staff.
Leeds Looking for Midfield Consistency
With multiple injuries, Farke has had to rotate his midfield constantly.
Now sitting fifth in the Championship, Leeds want to maintain their competitiveness and challenge for promotion.
Adding more depth to the midfield is a key priority, with the January transfer window looming.
