Ex-Leeds midfielder Walton doubts January can offer solution | OneFootball

Former Leeds United midfielder Simon Walton doesn't expect a busy January from Elland Road chiefs.

Speaking on BBC Radio Leeds after the 0-0 draw with Brighton, he said: “I would like to hope that we may get one or two in January.

“Do I think we will? I'm not so sure. I think January is a very tough transfer window as is proven over the years.

“It would have to be, in my opinion, someone who is already playing in the Premier League because, especially in our team, you've got to come in and hit the ground running.

“If you ask me to name players that I'd like us to go and get then I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I think having your first choice right-back coming back and having your focal point of a number 9 who's been missing for months coming back will be like two new signings.

“It's a cliché I know, but that's just how it is, a bit like Adam Forshaw coming back is like having a new signing in midfield.

“I'd like to think one or two will come in but I just think it's a case of keeping everybody fit now."
