Leeds United will have seen players dropping like flies with injuries, and with January around the corner, Marcelo Bielsa will no doubt turn his attention to new signings.

Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie is being rumoured to be on his way to Leeds for just £20m according to Spencer Morgan of The Daily Mail.

With midfielders such as Kalvin Phillips missing through injury and Adam Forshaw clearly not deemed up to standard, reinforcements in the midfield could be necessary for Marcelo Bielsa.

How the Leeds fans reacted

“Would be a great signing if we pull it off but just can’t see it happening.” @mathautomatic

“Is he on his last year of his contract? 20 million would be a snip for this lad.” @martincanning40

“Good money and an actual midfielder, another 3 signings we might have a good window.” @Bern_lufc

“Yes please. Great addition.” @Statesidepete

“Get him in MOT.” @bgowthorpe96

“I’d absolutely love him at Leeds, great engine and strong, just what we are looking for #lufc.” @dplr98

It’s a surprising link when you consider he has been a regular for the Italian giants who are still competing in the Champions League. He’s featured 17 times this season across the Serie A and Champions League and has managed to find the back of the net on two occasions.

Leeds find themselves in a perilous position at the moment, hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone, they could drop into that quite easily if games in hand go against them for the teams below. The Whites are only 16th in the league and will be looking over their shoulder with worry. January signings could be the key to Premier League survival.
