Favourites to join Leeds United in January including Barnsley, West Brom and Manchester United men

With November well underway, the January transfer window will be starting to creep into the minds of football fans.

Leeds United have made an impressive start to life back in the Championship having coped admirably with a summer of change.

Daniel Farke has led the club into third place and most recently oversaw a stunning win against table-toppers Leicester City.

Mid-season windows can make or break a side.

Leeds are not a club in desperate need of strengthening but January can prove to be an unpredictable month and Leeds could find themselves impacted by dealings.

Fabio Jalo - 6/4
