The new year transfer window will open on January 1,
presenting the last opportunity to bring in new signings before the January 31
deadline. Speaking to Spanish publication Diario AS, Whites director football
Orta was asked about previous windows and how close his side were to both PSV
Eindhoven's rapidly rising in-demand star Cody Gakpo and also Napoli's Georgian
international Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who joined the club from FC Dinamo Batumi
last summer. Orta, though, shifted focus on to United's future intent,
revealing Leeds could have the chance "incorporate a player” but must act
quickly due to the likelihood of that player being unavailable in future windows.
Orta was asked how close Leeds were to Gakpo and also
Kvaratskhelia but replied: "We have a lot of information from many
players. In the end, some for reasons of price and our limitations, we try and
they escape us. The other day I was talking to the general manager (Angus
Kinnear) and we have the possibility of incorporating a player in only one
market because maybe in the next one he is no longer available to us. That is
why we have to act as quickly as possible.”
