Daniel Farke's outlook on the January transfer window may have shifted significantly following his side’s recent resurgence. Just two months ago, the Leeds United boss likely would have been scouring the market for emergency reinforcements to aid a desperate relegation battle.
Now, after going undefeated in their last six matches - a run that included hard-earned draws against Premier League champions Liverpool and impressive victories over Chelsea and Crystal Palace - Farke can begin to look at longer-term targets. With a future in England's top flight looking increasingly likely, the focus can turn toward building for the Premier League.
Following this unbeaten streak, the Whites now sit 16th with 21 points. More importantly, they have opened up a crucial seven-point gap over West Ham United in 17th.
According to The Daily Mail, Leeds have the capacity to spend approximately £20-25m if they find the right permanent addition. However, the club’s ideal strategy remains securing loan deals with options or obligations to buy.
With the recruitment team reportedly targeting both Premier League experience and emerging European talent, Leeds Live has gathered a list of the names on the club's radar this winter.
