As we approach the second international break of the season, Marcelo Bielsa will be starting to draw up a list of some January transfer targets to bolster his side's promotion push.

The Whites, since the last break, have seen themselves slip out of the automatic promotion places after a series of disappointing results.

After just three wins in their last nine league games, Marcelo Bielsa's men have come off the boil after what was a sensational start to the Championship season, and now find themselves sitting third in the league, just one point off Middlesbrough in second place.

Several injuries to many key players has ultimately been Leeds' catalyst for downfall - the likes of Kemar Roofe, Gaetano Berardi and Pablo Hernandez, to name a few, have all been out on the sidelines through injury, which has had detrimental impacts on Leeds' performances.

There is no doubt they need to strengthen a squad that has been depleted with injuries this term, and here, we take a look at three January signings that will improve Leeds...

Ibai Gomez is a player who has recently been linked with move to Leeds United - and what an acquisition it would be for Leeds.

The winger has played an integral role in Alaves’ remarkable season thus far - netting three times and providing two assists for the Spanish outfit, who currently sit fourth in La Liga.

There is no doubt that Leeds need reinforcing in their wide positions, and Gomez would be one of the signings of the season if a move materialises.

Diagne is a name that has been linked with a move to Elland Road throughout the summer, and the powerful striker would be a tremendous coup for Leeds.

The Senegalese forward is the Turkish Super Lig's top scorer having netted 12 goals in 12 games this term, taking his tally up to a phenomenal 24 goals in 29 games for Kasimpasa.

Leeds need strengthening up top, and their main priority should be to sign Diagne in January.

Cahill has reportedly been made available for loan by Chelsea, so Leeds should definitely look to pounce upon this latest development.

The England international, 32 years of age, would add experience and knowhow to a Leeds defence that has looked shaky in recent weeks, typified by the 4-1 thumping at West Brom.

This would be a real coup.
