Leeds United are getting ready for a very busy January transfer window, and the club look set to make some big choices in the coming weeks.
Daniel Farke knows his team need more power in attack if they want to stay in the Premier League this season, and Leeds are already working on new signings behind the scenes.
The Whites are checking different players, holding early talks, and trying to understand which deals can actually happen.
Farke wants an attacking midfielder, a winger, and one more striker, because he believes more creativity and finishing is key for survival in the second half of the campaign.
Leeds Want New Attacking Stars in January
Daniel Farke has made it clear to the club board that Leeds must act fast once the window opens. The Premier League table is very tight around the bottom, and Leeds cannot take risks.
One or two strong signings could make the difference between staying up or going down.
The team have created chances this season, but they have not scored enough. That is why Farke is looking for players who can bring goals, assists and good movement in the final third.
Leeds scouts have been watching players from England and Europe, and early contact has already been made with some agents.
Farke believes January could be the most important window for Leeds in years.
Harry Wilson: January Hope Still Alive for Leeds
One name at the top of the list is Harry Wilson, the Fulham winger who almost joined Leeds on deadline day in the summer.
The deal collapsed in the final minutes, even though Wilson was ready to make the move to Elland Road.
His contract at Fulham runs out in the summer, which makes him a realistic January target again. Leeds see him as a player who can start straight away and bring Premier League quality.
But the problem is simple, Fulham do not want to sell.
Fulham boss Marco Silva wants to keep Wilson, calling him a key part of the team.
Fulham officials are also working to give him a new contract soon, because they know other clubs, including Leeds are watching closely.
Football expert Mick Brown told Football Insider that Wilson has been “excellent this season” and that Fulham will “fight hard” to stop him leaving in January.
Wilson’s Season Shows Why Leeds Want Him
Harry Wilson has been one of Fulham’s best players this season, scoring goals and creating chances when his team need it most.
Here is what he has done so far:
- 14 Premier League games
- 4 goals
- 1 assist
- Over 1,000 minutes played
For a team struggling for consistency, Wilson has stepped up.
He also fits Daniel Farke’s style perfectly, fast, smart, technical and able to play both as a winger or an attacking midfielder.
That is why Leeds are still so interested. At 28 years old, he has good experience and is already used to Premier League football.
Leeds feel he could make an instant impact at Elland Road.
Should Leeds Keep Fighting? Yes 100%
Leeds will not find a better realistic target in January. Wilson knows the league, knows how to score, and is confident on the ball.
If Leeds sign him, he walks straight into the starting XI.
Fulham may try to block the deal, but as long as Wilson does not sign a new contract, Leeds still have a chance.
The club needs to stay alert, move quickly, and keep pressure on the negotiations.
Daniel Farke wants players who can save the season and Harry Wilson is exactly that type.
