If I’M Allowed: Daniel Farke Ask For His.

Leeds has not made a single deal since the January transfer window started, and they have just over 24 hours to finalize any outstanding business. This means that time is of the essence for them.

Throughout the window, Farke has made it clear that he believes his squad is lacking a few players, especially in defense given the losses of Luke Ayling and Djed Spence.

Leeds, though, has been sluggish to bring in plausible successors; numerous names have been mentioned as possible Elland Road moves, but they haven’t materialized.

As the deadline approaches, Farke also disclosed in his pre-Bristol City press conference whether Leeds had truly made any progress in bringing anyone in at all.

If I may talk about a few secrets, there were one or two that were really near, then after that there was an injury, and we can’t afford to bring them in when they’re hurt, he added. I want to talk about other teams and players who are under contract with class, not about names.

It seems that right-back Daiki Hashioka, who joined Luton Town, appeared to be the closest Leeds has come to signing someone this month. Hashioka had been destined to head to West Yorkshire.
