Leeds United will be hoping to retain the bulk of their squad this January as dilemmas may occur in the coming weeks of the window.
There is still plenty of time for action to occur in this window for Leeds as Daniel Farke could see outgoings taking the frame.
In terms of incoming signings, there isn’t much to write home about as Leeds target Louie Barry could stay at Aston Villa.
Moving past Barry, Andrew Omobamidele’s stance is good news for Leeds as the centre-back is looking like the most likely arrival to Elland Road this winter.
However, as mentioned outgoings are seemingly proving more likely as Josuha Guilavogui’s future at Leeds is up in the air.
Daniel Farke’s stance on Joshua Guilavogui leaving Leeds United
Guilavogui has been the subject of interest from Paris FC as Jurgen Klopp and his new role at Red Bull look to expand their project in Paris.
The 34-year-old’s contract is up at the end of the season which could see clubs signing the Frenchman on a pre-contract agreement despite only enduring his first season at Leeds.
Farke has said Guilavogui inspires the Leeds squad despite only playing 10 times for the Whites and starting once against Harrogate Town in the FA Cup.
With the midfielder’s future uncertain, new reports emerging have revealed Farke’s stance on the Guilavogui situation.
TEAMTALK understands that even though Guilavogui is down Farke’s pecking order at Leeds, the manager is eager to retain his services for the rest of the season.
Farke sees Guilavogui as good for the squad’s morale, backing up his inspiration, and the fact that he can cover several positions is a useful tool in what is still a busy schedule for Leeds.
The report added that Guilavogui would also likely welcome a more involved role in Red Bull’s latest project which looks exciting in the capital city of France.

Guilavogui’s exit will be a hit to team morale at Leeds
As previously mentioned, although the Frenchman doesn’t contribute as much on the pitch, he is a vital asset off it for Farke.
Guilavogui has helped the likes of Wilfried Gnonto, with his advice and presence, which is a valuable element for a youngster.
Adding to this Guilavogui has helped Mateo Joseph learn about his mistakes and Farke may think twice if morale takes a hit in such a crucial part of the season.
Guilavogui has proven that off-field presence is as good as on it at times, and Farke is standing by the Frenchman staying at Leeds.
