BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope believes there is no "necessity" for the Whites to bring in another signing before the transfer window shuts on Monday evening.

Facundo Buonanotte's loan arrival from Brighton has been the only addition so far for Daniel Farke's side, but they have been linked with a late move for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

"I wouldn't say there is a necessity for more business to be done before the end of the transfer window," Pope told the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.

"Based on trying to read Daniel Farke's body language and his rhetoric, I think he's pretty transparent. He likes the group and feels strongly about the group.

"The real potential deal is the Strand Larsen one which still feels not a complete stretch but a bit of a reach to me.

"If Leeds didn't spend £35m or £40m would I be worried? No, I don't think there's that many quality strikers around.

"He is one, even though what I've seen this season hasn't been great, and had enough evidence to show he would be worth spending a bit of money on.

"I can't think of too many others.

"If the squad stayed as this, I think Farke has enough to stay up. But, not bringing anyone in during January - that would cause headloss among a load of people watching and listening to this right now.

"I don't think that would be the end of the world, but I would like another loan in at least."
