Wed 11 January 2023 8:45, UK

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch will know just how important the next few weeks could be for the club.

The January transfer window offers Marsch the chance to make a few key additions to his squad.

Leeds have already added defender Maximilian Wober to their ranks this month.

He came on and made his debut against Cardiff City in the FA Cup and has already hit the ground running.

Leeds have one of the most exciting, young squads in the league right now.

However, Southampton fans will warn against exclusively recruiting exciting, but inexperienced, youngsters after their struggles this season.

Marsch has a number of brilliant young attackers to choose from right now, and might be about to add another.

Leeds have been closely linked with a move for 20-year-old Hoffenheim forward Georginio Rutter.

that Rutter wants to join Leeds this month, with a club-record deal potentially on the cards.

The pressure would be on Rutter to hit the ground running and make sure the Whites secure their Premier League status.

, ‘the 20-year-old France under-21 international is keen to make the move and wants to arrive in Leeds as soon as possible to undergo a medical.’

The ‘unbelievable’ forward faces plenty of competition to get into the Leeds side.

However, the £30m fee Leeds look likely to pay for Rutter should earn him a chance to make the centre-forward role his own.

Patrick Bamford’s long-term form and fitness has been a real worry for Leeds this season.

He’s still without a goal this season, and on a groin injury.

Rutter has never been a prolific forward, but still has plenty of time to develop into a goal scorer.

It’s no surprise that Rutter now wants to join Leeds as he looks set to take the next step in his career.
