Dwight Gayle, Ben White and Jarrod Bowen - Leeds United fans' January transfers

We are now a little over a month away from the January transfer window opening for business and Championship clubs right across the division will be assessing their options and bank balances for what business they may be able to conclude.

The January market is often a time of the season where the market becomes over-inflated and clubs are forced to pay over the odds to add a new face to their squad.

And while Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa is not usually renowned for looking to bolster his squad too much in January, it is almost certain the Whites will be keeping a close eye on any potential deals that may become possible.

While it can be a tricky time for managers and senior club officials, the January transfer market often gets fans excited, with supporters eager to see their side add new faces to their team.
