Leeds United are in a strong position this season as Daniel Farke’s team pushes for promotion back to the Premier League.
As it stands, the Whites find themselves in the first position of the Championship, leading Burnley and Sheffield United by a single point at the midpoint of the season.
This time around under Farke, the form has been quite impressive but the boss has hinted that he wants to reduce transfer market activities to January.
That said, the supporters are aware that reinforcements will be necessary to maintain the momentum as the race for promotion remains tight.
Jack Harrison Staying at Everton
A critical takeaway for Leeds is the point that Jack Harrison will not be making a return to Elland Road this month.
As per Graham Smyth, Harrison’s loan with Everton stands until the ongoing season.
For all parties to agree for him to return during January, offsetting the loan would have to be agreed upon, which is not the case now.
This news comes as good news for the Leeds fanbase. Harrison’s loan to Everton can be described as disappointing at best.
The winger has had a poor external return, having not contributed either assists or goals in 17 Premier League games this season.
By remaining at Goodison Park,Leeds also avoided the cost of his wages, which is good for the club overall.
Leeds Looking Ahead Without Harrison
Over the last couple of seasons, Leeds has coped well without Harrison. The loss of the player in the previous year hasn’t deterred the team from excelling in the Championship.
Farke’s men look focused, but the months ahead will require lots of depth. The January transfer window is still open, and the club may decide to recruit players.
Nonetheless, Farke will anticipate looking for opportunities rather than looking to make significant changes.
The point of focus is ensuring promotion, and signing players who can provide instant success will be necessary.
Promotion Race Tightens
Leeds fans can’t afford to get carried away just yet. The Championship is competitive, and the race for automatic promotion will likely go down to the wire.
Staying consistent in form and avoiding injuries will play a massive role in ensuring Leeds return to the Premier League.
The club appears to be in a better position than Everton when it comes to Harrison.
While the winger struggles at Goodison Park, Leeds remain focused on their goals under Farke’s guidance.
For now, the Whites must stay united and work hard in every game to secure the promotion they have been fighting for all season.
Fans will be hoping the team can maintain their strong performances and finish the campaign on a high.
