Leeds will complete ‘at least three’ more signings after confirmed news – pundit
Leeds United will sign “at least two or three” more players before the transfer window closes.
That’s according to ex-Whites stopper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, about fresh injuries issues at the club.
Adam Forshaw, 30, and Luis Sinisterra, 23, were both forced off with injuries in the first half of Leeds’ pre-season clash against Crystal Palace (22 July).
As quoted by BBC Sport the same day, Jesse Marsch confirmed Sinisterra’s injury was to his hamstring and claimed he was “totally dissatisfied” with the knock.
The Whites boss also confirmed Forshaw “tweaked his knee” and is waiting for a more detailed report.
Kenny insists Leeds still need to add more death to their squad.
“They have brought bodies in and you have to make sure there is quality in that, I think there is with these players,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“You can sometimes just get it wrong by getting as many people in as possible without thinking about the quality.
“They have to make sure they have the numbers this season, it nearly got them relegated last season, not having enough quality players to replace the injuries.
“A few players have left and I’m sure more signings will come. This is just a reminder that injuries happen and Leeds have to be in a position to replace players when they are unavailable.
“So I’m sure a few more players will arrive before the window shuts, at least two to three.”
Leeds start their 2022-23 Premier League campaign against Wolves at Elland Road on 6 August.
Their final pre-season game is against Cagliari on Sunday (31 July).
