Journalist 'would be stunned' if Leeds sign left-back before January

Journalist Graham Smyth, Chief Football Writer for the Yorkshire Evening Post, has claimed it'd be 'stunning' if Leeds do sign a left-back before the start of the January transfer window.

Come January, Jesse Marsch may return to the market to sign a left-back, but that is likely to depend on current left-back Junior Firpo’s performances and the injury situation at that point.

Talking to a fan in a Q&A on the Yorkshire Evening Post, Smyth was asked if it was likely Marsch and Victor Orta would dip into the market before the window for a left-back.

“I would be stunned if they dipped into the free agent market for any signing. It just doesn’t feel like the kind of thing Leeds do. They had quite specific plans going into the summer transfer window, for each position, and had there been someone available on a free it would have happened long before now.

“If you’re fishing in that pond it suggests something has likely gone awry and while I believe they are a little light in that position, Marsch and Orta are content with what they have at left-back, in Junior Firpo, Pascal Struijk and Leo Hjelde.”

Speaking with BBC Radio West Yorkshire, Gelhardt spoke about how both managers helped to better his ability and the similarities in how it was working under both of them.
