Leeds United Targets Mergim Berisha in January Transfer Window

Leeds United is actively pursuing multiple signings ahead of the January transfer window, focusing on a centre-back, full-back, striker, and central midfielder. Despite manager Daniel Farke's earlier comments about a quiet transfer period, rumors suggest a strong interest in Hoffenheim striker Mergim Berisha, who has struggled for form since joining the Bundesliga side. Reports indicate that Berisha, who previously played under Farke at Red Bull Salzburg, has 'no future' at Hoffenheim and is being courted by clubs including Werder Bremen. In addition, Leeds is monitoring the situation of other players, including Coventry midfielder Ben Sheaf and potentially allowing underperforming forward Joe Gelhardt to leave on loan. The club is also considering options to strengthen their squad as they contend with injuries and fluctuating performances from key players like Patrick Bamford. As the transfer window progresses, Leeds aims to bolster their attacking options while managing ongoing player exits.
