The Whites are battling a promotion rival for the late signing.

Leeds United look set to complete their first signing of the January transfer window after making a breakthrough on Friday. The Whites have now signed Mateusz Musialowski, 20, from Liverpool, who has six months left on his contract. Daniel Farke looks keen to strengthen his attack and add to his defense ahead of Thursday’s deadline and Musialowski is technically fit but has yet to play a senior game so the manager may want someone experienced. In the short term, it may have a greater impact.

Burnley’s Manuel Benson has arrived. Leeds opened a new round of negotiations with the Clarets on Wednesday as they continue to pursue his signature.

Now, our reporter breaks down Benson’s current situation as the two championship contenders go head-to-head as we enter the final days of the winter market. Leeds and Southampton offer a table-top deal for Benson

Journalist Ben Jacobs told GiveMeSport that Leeds had made a “strong bid” to sign Benson. Southampton are currently believed to have a slight advantage in landing a “high-quality player”, but they are still set to win. “He’s clearly a top player by Championship standards and has a lot of confidence in the league, so it’s no surprise that Leeds and Southampton are in contention. Some sources say Southampton are slightly ahead of Leeds. They say there is. But I think that we will. We’ll just have to wait and see if anything happens.” Because there are two attractive offers on the table for the player.

Benson has already won the championship.

Benson has proven beyond doubt that he can make a difference to both Leeds and Southampton as they look for an immediate return to the Premier League. As you can see in the match-by-match table below, he was one of the most impressive players in the division last season.

Benson was also statistically the best player in the league last year. It seems like an interesting topic, but it’s worth noting that it can be very difficult for him to maintain that streak and he can fall very badly. Return to the direction of meaning. But his underlying numbers show he can still impact the game as a creator, even when he’s not scoring.
