Leeds United have not allowed their relegation from the Premier League to hold any long-lasting effects as they have quickly instilled a winning mentality this season.
German head coach Daniel Farke was brought in over the summer to lead the team back to the top-flight at the first time of asking and has enjoyed a strong start to life in Yorkshire.
The Whites are currently third in the Championship after 16 matches and sit eight points adrift of the automatic promotion places, with Ipswich and Leicester on 39 points.
They have won nine and only lost three of their league matches this term, having dropped out of the top-flight earlier this year, and the emergence of Georginio Rutter has played a key role in their success.
The French wizard has finally hit his stride in a Whites shirt after a difficult five months in the Premier League, as Farke has found the perfect role to get the best out of his creative talent.
eeds’ head coach could now look to the January transfer window to find his next version of the ex-Bundesliga ace by reigniting his swoop for Queens Park Rangers forward Ilias Chair.
How much could the Ilias Chair cost Leeds?
Journalist Darren Witcoop reported over the summer that the Whites attempted to secure a last-gasp deal to land the Morocco international from their Championship rivals.
The club were said to be willing to meet QPR’s £6 million valuation of the talented winger, but they came in too late and did not provide the London-based outfit with enough time to find a replacement, which meant that a deal was not sanctioned.
League leaders Leicester were also keen on the right-footed magician, but they needed outgoings before they could swoop for his services, and there was no mention of them being willing to match the £6 million fee.
