Leeds United brought in eight new players in the summer of 2024, with signings like Ao Tanaka, Jayden Bogle and Joe Rodon all proving to be wonderful additions.
Isaac Schmidt and Largie Ramazani have left on loan a year after joining the club, while Alex Cairns remains as back-up. Manor Solomon and Joe Rothwell have moved to Villarreal and Rangers after loans.
Who do you want Leeds to sign in January? A striker surely has to be the priority!
All in all, it was a good window for Leeds. Despite the losses of Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, Leeds still managed to bring in the players required to get Leeds back into the top tier.
Plenty of players were linked with a move to Elland Road that summer, but Leeds may regret failing to sign one player on their radar. One who has just won the man of the match award after a win at Anfield.
PSV in shock 4-1 win to beat Liverpool in Champions League
To Nottingham Forest fans, PSV’s stunning 4-1 win at Anfield will not have come as a surprise. Forest had beaten Liverpool on Merseyside on the weekend 3-0 and now, PSV stunned Arne Slot’s struggling side.
A huge win for the Eredivisie side, a victory that retains their hopes of Champions League football after Christmas. Couhaib Driouech came on as a substitute to score twice after entering the fray on 69 minutes.
Two first-time finishes from Driouech, one on either foot, secured a stunning win for PSV and continues to pile the pressure on Liverpool manager Slot. A player that PSV signed for a bargain £2.6m from Excelsior.
PSV’s interest in Driouech came after Leeds considered bringing the winger to Elland Road before the signings of Solomon and Ramazani. Driouech was given the man of the match award on Wednesday.
Former Leeds United target Couhaib Driouech scores twice in PSV’s 4-1 win over Liverpool
What are the chances of Leeds signing Couhaib Driouech now?
This is not the first time that Driouech has come off the bench and helped Napoli win a Champions League match. In October, Driouech came on as a sub with the scoreline reading 1-1 on 84 minutes.
He scored one and created another as PSV went on to win 3-1. But Driouech will not be entirely pleased, with the uncapped Moroccan rarely starting for PSV and only managing 36 appearances since his move.
The winger has a contract at PSV until the summer of 2029 and that means any move would cost full price. Leeds’ situation with PSR makes it difficult, but surely Driouech could be tempted if Leeds bid.
