Leeds United have kept a low profile in the first three weeks of January, yet a raft of late-window possibilities has been outlined for the closing fortnight. Their first move arrived last week with Brighton and Hove Albion attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte joining on loan after Chelsea ended his spell.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, an AI tool was used to sketch out potential ins and outs that could materialise before the deadline. Daniel Farke hopes Buonanotte will add extra creativity in attacking areas.

Joel Piroe has reportedly attracted loan interest, and a short-term switch could suit if Leeds need to free space or balance the books. Illan Meslier, whose deal runs to 2026, could be sold now to retain value.

Jorgen Strand Larsen of Wolverhampton Wanderers has been offered as a centre-forward option, with Premier League experience despite a modest return this season. Financial headroom concerns could steer any move towards a loan or a structured fee.

Leeds are said to retain interest in Fulham’s Harry Wilson, who wants a fresh start, and whose set-piece delivery and chance creation could help. He would bring top-flight experience to a side seeking extra threat.

Defender Sebastiaan Bornauw has been linked with a move, with 1. FC Köln reportedly prepared to wait until late January, and increased minutes cited as a factor. Inter’s Piotr Zielinski has also been mentioned, limited action this season could make a deal possible.
