Leeds United reapproaches for a player worth £15m, whom Jesse Marsch desired at Elland Road..

Leeds United is set for a busy few days, with indications that the transfer team at Elland Road is diligently working to secure new signings ahead of Monday’s deadline.

Daniel Farke stated at the start of the month that he did not anticipate a hectic January window. Farke expressed his desire for three new signings last week, and following the draw at Burnley, he suggested that a new signing was imminent.

Leeds United have begun negotiations to acquire a player from Newcastle United

As reported by The Athletic, Leeds have begun discussions regarding a transfer of Matty Targett, the left-back for Newcastle United. The player signed by Newcastle for £15m has had difficulty getting onto the pitch this season, as Lewis Hall is the Toon’s first choice.

Eddie Howe once referred to Targett as “outstanding” on Sky Sports, noting his vast experience in both the Premier League and the Championship. He is now in the last 18 months of his contract with Newcastle. Currently, a left-back is not considered an essential position at Elland Road. However, Junior Firpo and Sam Byram are both in the final six months of their contracts, with Byram being known for his frequent injuries.
