The Yorkshire club are yet to make any signings this winter, but are working to make changes to their squad before the deadline.

Iheanacho, 28, has emerged as a target for Leeds in the final days of the transfer market, after struggling to establish himself at Sevilla since joining on a free transfer last summer.

The Nigerian forward has made just five starts and four substitute appearances in La Liga, and Sevilla are willing to facilitate his departure on either a permanent or loan basis.
