Leeds United’s £86m window boosts depth, but striker cover remains thin | OneFootball

Leeds United’s £86m window has bolstered depth across the pitch, though striker cover remains a clear weak spot.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke added two deadline-day loans in Melvin Bard and Jean-Matteo Bahoya, complementing earlier arrivals as the window shut on Tuesday.

There is a sense that three starting positions may have been upgraded, with left-back and left wing also better stocked. But at centre forward, Lukas Nmecha is the only orthodox deputy to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with Noah Okafor an option if required.

Goalkeepers: James Trafford is first choice, with Michael Zetterer and Alex Cairns as cover.

At right centre-back Joe Rodon leads, backed by James Justin and Nico Elvedi. In the central role Jaka Bijol starts, with Elvedi and Rodon in reserve.

On the left of the back three Tarik Muharemovic is first choice, supported by Elvedi, Bijol and Bard. At right wing-back Jayden Bogle starts, with Justin and Dan James available.

That is Leeds’ depth chart as it stands, and it will not change before January.
