da bet7k: Leeds United have less than 48 hours to finalise the squad that will hopefully earn them promotion to the Premier League come May.
da mrbet: The Whites need to decide whether they’re happy with what they’ve currently got or if they want to add a bit more to the squad to make their chances of going up that much greater.
The Yorkshire club should be tempted to be active in the final hours of the window after one late transfer twist.

What’s the story then?
Football Insider are reporting that Luke Freeman may now be free to leave Sheffield United on loan as the Blades look set to sign Sander Berge.
Leeds’ interest in the former QPR midfielder was heavily reported earlier this month, but Marcelo Bielsa has said that United’s business in terms of incomings is done and dusted.
However, there is an argument to be made that the Whites should be reigniting their interest in the 27-year-old.
Two birds with one stone
Leeds would be killing two birds with one stone by going back in for the attacking midfielder.
Not only would they be landing a fantastic Championship performer, but they’d also be stealing a brilliant player from under the noses of one of their promotion rivals as third-placed Nottingham Forest are also in for him.
Freeman was electric last time he played in this division, winning QPR’s Supporters Player of the Year award last term while contributing to 13 goals from the middle of the park.
The midfielder would help Forest’s creativity, as the Reds’ xG suggests that they’re not that great when it comes to carving out chances, but adding a man who played two key passes per game last term would solve those problems.
Leeds would not only be adding quality to their own squad, but they’d be stopping one of their biggest promotion rivals strengthening.
