Ben Jacobs has shared “good news” for Leeds United on the transfer front in the January window.
A Whites fan asked the CBS journalist on 🌼 whether he had any trans🍸fer updates involving the Championship club.
Jacobs respon🌟ded by saying Leeds are seemingly trying for a full-back this month. Chris Mepham and Connor Roberts “could both be ಞoptions” for Daniel Farke.
The reporter also said the Whites have no plans to sell in-demand winger Crysencio Summervi🌠lle in the January window.
Jacobs ackno𒁏wledges that there is “growing interest” in the 🧔Dutchman, but Leeds have been “really pleased with his attitude” since the start of the season.
Djed Spence and Luke Ayling have both departed Leeds this month, leaving the Whiꦆtes somewhat﷽ light in terms of defensive cover.
With that in ♕mind, Farke ma꧂y well look to bolster their ranks at the back as they continue to push for promotion at the first time of asking.
Leeds United target Chris Mepham and Connor Roberts
Mepham plays his club football for Bournemouth and has won caps for Wales since making 😼his debut back in 2018.
The 26-year-old centre-back, who stands 6ft 3in tall🌜, has struggled for game time this season. He has just eight appearances and 400 minutes under his belt at Bournemouth.
Robeꦓrts, like Mepham, is an experiences Wales international. The 28-year-old can play at left-back and right-back, as well as further up the right flank.
The Dragons ace is on the books at Burnley and has 14 🍌club outings to his name this term, for just over 800 minutes of football.
Both players would be great shouts for Leeds. They boast extensive experienceꦗ at a high level and both seem attainable in the January transfer window.
It’s also good t🎃o hear that Leeds plan to hold firm on Summerville. He’s an incredible talent and will no doubt continue to play a big role in the Whites’ pursuit of the top flight.
Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks. Leeds have laid some great foundations this season a𝔉nd are in a good position to push for second place at least.
Just seven point𓂃s separate the fourth-placed Yorkshire club (48) from second-placed Ipswich T🦄own (55).
