January transfer

Leeds United have reportedly set their sights on Sunderland’s standout left-back, Dennis Cirkin. The England youth international has been in stellar form this season, solidifying his place as one of the Championship’s top attacking full-backs under manager Regis Le Bris. With Leeds and Sunderland locked in a tight race for promotion, a January move for Cirkin seems improbable; however, should Leeds secure promotion and Sunderland remain in the Championship, the transfer picture could shift dramatically. Cirkin’s impressive stats—ranging from defensive tackles to chance creation—highlight why Leeds sees him as a potential long-term asset.
