Leeds United transfer roundup: authorities perplexed by new information, £15 million deal eyed

Before the winter transfer window closes on February 3rd, Daniel Farke’s Leeds United team is unlikely to undergo many changes.

Despite numerous intriguing connections, the Whites have not added any players to their first team since the transfer window began. However, Sonny Perkins (Leyton Orient) and Joe Gelhardt (Hull City) have secured moves away.

After such a strong first half of the season, Farke won’t want to make many changes given Leeds’ lead in the Championship table, two points ahead of Sheffield United and three ahead of Burnley.

Leeds to Ben Davies Earlier in the transfer window, Leeds was linked to the Tottenham veteran; some supporters were hoping to sign the Welshman, but those aspirations have since been dashed.

Cameron Archer is preparing his bid.
Leeds, whose first approach was turned down, are reportedly preparing a £15 million bid to recruit the Southampton striker before the window closes, according to TEAMtalk.
