The 49ers have ensured that this season should be a positive one for Daniel Farke in the Championship, but the transfer business conducted left a couple of gaps in the squad.
Sam Byram’s performances have been outstanding so far at left-back, but his injury worries are going to remain something that means Leeds cannot pin all their hopes on him, likewise with Junior Firpo too.
Back in January when Leeds were in need of a new left-back signing, they turned to left-footed centre-back Max Wöber instead, leaving the position still sorely lacking in depth under then-manager Jesse Marsch.
An MLS scouting mission was underway, though, with Philadelphia Union’s Kai Wagner catching the eye, as he ended up with three goals and 10 assists in all competitions – demonstrating real quality in possession that looked likely to see him move to Europe.
The Whites aren’t likely to be focused that much on transfers right now in the middle of October, but there are still plenty of youngsters that could do with an exit move.
Lower league football is the best avenue for Leeds’ various talented players, rather than being stuck playing in the youth system for another season.
