Daniel Farke gives an exciting update on Leeds United’s transfer budget

Daniel Farke has revealed he will have money to spend in the January transfer window if he needs it.

Leeds‘ A 4-0 win over Oxford United on Saturday leaves them second in the Championship table, three points behind Sheffield United and one ahead of Burnley.

The Whites have two more games to play before the January window opens, traveling to Stoke City on Boxing Day before another away game against Derby County.

Leeds have lost just one of their last eight games and Farke may feel he does not need to strengthen his squad much.

However, the margin for error in the Championship promotion race is very slim, with just five points separating Sheffield United in first from Sunderland in fourth.

With that in mind, January is an opportunity for clubs to have slim leads and if Farke wants to make some additions, he says he will have the club’s support.

Daniel Farke discusses Leeds’ January transfer plans

“Even when there is interest, we have calmed everything down. We are in such a crucial period and we want all our players to focus on us right now. We want the whole squad to focus on these next five games,” Farke said (via Leeds all over).

“After January 4, there will be FA Cup weekend and then we can talk about everything else if we do something in January. Until then, there will be no decision and we just want to focus on winning as many parties possible

“I don’t think we need to make more money. We made more money than any club in Western Europe. It’s important for us to be sustainable after some difficult years in terms of spending. You have to play by the rules and there is a time in which you have to sell some players after you have overspent.It was beneficial for the long-term picture.

“We had to rebuild, but overall, I think it was beneficial. We are a healthy club now and so there is no pressure to do anything. We can’t spend a fortune, but you don’t have to do anything to make more money.”
