Leeds' Early Struggles; Transfer Claims Unverified

Leeds United sit 15th in the Premier League after seven matches with eight points from two wins, reflecting a competitive but inconsistent start marked by narrow defeats, late goals conceded and a recent 2-1 home loss to Brentford that leaves them four points clear of the relegation zone. The team has struggled to score early in the season but showed resilience with a comeback at Wolves and an opening win over Everton, though penalty‑box inefficiency remains a concern. Reports had linked Leeds with a possible January move for Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski and noted the summer signing of Noah Okafor from AC Milan, suggesting intent to strengthen mid-season.
