Marcelo Bielsa offers January update after Leeds land Augustin

Marcelo Bielsa has insisted, in comments reported by Leeds Live, that Leeds United are done for the January transfer window in terms of bringing players in.

It appears to have been a very good window for the Whites. It took some time for Bielsa’s side to bring a player in, but Elia Caprile’s arrival has swiftly been followed by two more additions.

Ian Poveda has joined from Manchester City. And Leeds made a massive statement on Monday by announcing that they have landed Jean-Kevin Augustin on loan.

The club confirmed on their official website that they have the option to make Augustin’s move permanent.

It looks to be a major coup for the promotion-chasers.

And ahead of their return to action on Tuesday, Bielsa suggested that Leeds are not expecting to bring anyone else in.

“We are not going to add a new player,” he said, as reported by Leeds Live, when asked about whether anymore signings could come in.

Bielsa’s comments will come as no surprise to the majority of the Elland Road faithful.

The Leeds boss appears to prefer working with a smaller group. And he will be wary of upsetting the balance of his squad.

Some fans may hold out some hope of a late surprise. But given the events on deadline day during the previous January window, Leeds will be relieved that issues have been addressed in good time.
