Leeds United is getting things done, and the January transfer market is starting to pick up steam. Although the
Whites haven’t added anyone just yet, they have decided to send Luke Ayling on loan to Middlesbrough and Djed
Spence back to Tottenham.
They will therefore likely be busy in the upcoming weeks as they try to make the acquisitions that will help them
cross the finish line in the promotion race. Here are a few headlines from Elland Road that have been making the
news this evening.
Darko Gyabi, a young player for Leeds United, is reportedly a target for Plymouth Argyle this month. Gyabi has had
difficulty getting into the starting lineup at Elland Road this season after failing to persuade Daniel Farke that he
should be included in his plans.
However, Football Insider claims that Plymouth has “opened talks” and that he may be given the opportunity to play
football later in the season. Due to the losses of Luke Cundle and Finn Azaz by Plymouth this month, Gyabi may get
the chance to get the playing time he so much needs at this point in his career.
The 19-year-old paid £5 million to join the Whites from Manchester City in 2022, and he has just made
Mepham included in the roster?
Chris Mepham, a defender for Bournemouth, is admired by Leeds United, as Alex Crook of Talksport reports. The
Wales international is liked by the Whites, according to Crook, who also suggests David Brooks, who was previously
connected to a transfer to Elland Road this week, as a possible choice for the Whites this month.
Mepham has only made two Premier League starts this season due to his lack of playing time at Bournemouth under
Andoni Iraola. As such, should an approach be made, he might be available this month.
With Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper, and Charlie Cresswell among their ranks, Leeds has plenty of choices
at center back right now. However, since Cresswell has been linked to other teams and Struijk is now sidelined,
Leeds cannot pursue Mepham.
