In order to keep their automatic promotion bid alive, the Whites easily defeated them on the road.

TalkSPORT writer Alex Crook provided a broad summary of possible business at Elland Road this month in an interview with GiveMeSport last week. He also hinted that the Whites would have a busy window, telling the publication, “They’re going to go for it.” You brought up David Brooks; another person they should look up to, in my opinion, is Chris Mepham of Bournemouth. You would have assumed they had a full-back lined up after sending Djed Spence back. Therefore, I believe Leeds could be far more active than Daniel Farke is letting on.”

According to reports, details have now emerged that provide insight into the full-back signing Leeds United may attempt to make in the coming weeks.

He stated, “Leeds is closely interested in West Ham defender, Ben Johnson,” when translated into English. Plans are being discussed for a potential relocation. A time interested by the player, Everton will not be followed up.”

As described as “absolutely brilliant” by former Whites player Paul Robinson and a “important player” by David Moyes, the 23-year-old has only made eight appearances across all competitions this season, recording one assist (Johnson statistics – Transfermarkt).

As previously stated, Johnson’s arrival could be a wise move on the part of 49ers Enterprises, who could support Farke’s team in their pursuit of promotion from the Championship between now and the end of the season. Leeds United may need to tap into the market in light of the departure of loanee Djed Spence.
