High places in Leeds United are said to be aware of a potentially damaging revelation about a top January transfer target, according to a new update.
Leeds transfer news
White continues to pace the Championship this season, he is at the top of the table heading into 2025 and is undoubtedly improving all the time. A 1-0 win at the weekend at Derby County was another big result and there is now a three point difference between Daniel Farkehis side and third-placed Burnley out of the automatic promotion places.
While things are going great for Leeds, some January signings would only increase their chances of sealing a return to the Premier League, with a number of players linked with moves to Elland Road in recent days.
Burnley ahead Mike Tresor has emerged as a rumored target for the Whites, with the 25-year-old out of favor at Turf Moor this season and possibly seeking a move away from Championship rivals Leeds. Whether the Clarets are willing to let him join a rival remains to be seen.
Farke’s men are also believed to be in the mix to sign Josh Brownhillwho is wanted by many clubs in view of his contract expiring at the end of this season. The 29-year-old has scored nine goals in the Championship in 2024/25 to date, arguably standing out as one of the top players in the division. Now, a negative transfer update has dropped on another target.
Senior Leeds officials are worried about the ‘unbelievable’ goal
According to Give Me Sports, Leeds senior officials fear Nico Elvedi will not join the club in January because he wants to wait and see if the Whites win promotion to the Premier League this season. The 28-year-old Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back wants to be in the top flight if he moves to England, so it seems a mid-season move is out of the question despite being a top target for the Whites.
This is an obvious blow for Leeds, who will no doubt be keen to sign Elvedi in January, bolstering their back line for the second half of the season in the process. It seems they will have to play the waiting game, though, and also hope the defender’s head doesn’t turn with a move to another club in the new year.
Elvedi could be such a strong signing if Leeds manage to land him in the summer, having averaged 2.3 aerial duel wins per game and a 90.5% pass completion rate. in the Bundesliga this season, with Max Eberle hailing him as “incredible” in the past.

If nothing else, it will be an added incentive for the Whites to seal promotion from the Championship in the coming months, assuming Elvedi stays at Monchengladbach until the end of the campaign, although his January signing would still be the ideal result.
