Leeds already have several targets in mind ahead of the winter transfer window.
The 49ers have some issues to address with Leeds only scoring ten goals in 11 Premier League games so far this season.
Raheem Sterling is a target as decision makers attempt to improve the attack for Daniel Farke, while Troy Parrott is also admired after bagging 13 goals in 14 appearances for AZ Alkmaar so far this term.
Which position do Leeds United need to strengthen most in January?
Explain why!
While these two players would represent immediate improvements to the squad, Leeds also have one eye on the future after joining the race to sign Tylel Tati.
Leeds United now monitoring Nantes prospect Tylel Tati
On The Minute now state that Leeds are keeping a close eye on the 17-year-old, but there is vast competition for his signature.
Manchester United, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen are all interested in Tati along with Leeds, after the teenager managed to break into the Nantes side this season, impressively starting 11 out of 12 games in Ligue 1.
Despite growing interest, Nantes are in no rush to make a decision, with the France U18 international contracted until July 2028.
- Name: Tylel Tati
- Date of birth: 19th January 2008
- Place of birth: Champigny-sur-Marne
- Age: 17
- Club: Nantes
- Nation: France
- Position: Central defender
- Height: 6ft 3in
- Preferred foot: Left
Tylel Tati may have reservations about Leeds United move while Daniel Farke is at the helm
Six places above Nantes in Ligue 1 right now are Toulouse, who possess the imperious Charlie Cresswell – a man matching Kylian Mbappe statistically so far this season.
Like Tati, the England U21 international is also a highly promising defender.
However – wedded to Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk – Farke never gave Cresswell an opportunity at Leeds, prompting a public fallout before he later joined Toulouse in a £3.8m move.
The pressure is mounting on Daniel Farke… should Leeds United sack him?⌛
Farke has also mistreated Joe Gelhardt – another young talent at Leeds – so Tati might not feel Elland Road is the best place for his development while the German remains in charge.
