On Sunday, Daniel Farke’s team stunned Preston North End by coming back from a goal down to win 2-1 in spectacular manner.
After just two minutes at Elland Road, Will Keane gave the visitors the lead when he diverted a miss-hit effort from five yards out into the net.
But four minutes later, Daniel James leveled the score with a header at the back post following a wonderfully floating cross.
Joel Piroe then gave the home team the lead deep into stoppage time.
Farke will be aware of the significance of this victory and eager to add some reinforcements in January to bolster their promotion campaign in the second half of the season, because they are playing for automatic promotion back to the Premier League.
Football Insider claims that the team is nearing the acquisition of Burnley’s Benson, a winger who is also being monitored by Southampton.
According to the report, Leeds is negotiating a season-long loan agreement with the 26-year-old, who will provide the team much-needed depth.
This month, Wilfried Gnonto may leave Elland Road since West Ham is rumored to be interested in the Italian winger.
