In January, Leeds United considered Norwich City forward Josh Sargent as they sought to enhance their attacking lineup. Although they did not make an official bid, Sargent was among four strikers that Leeds identified as potential signings. The club also showed interest in Southampton's Cameron Archer, Middlesbrough's Wilson Isidor, and Nice's Evann Guessand. Leeds aimed to fortify their squad in preparation for a possible promotion to the Premier League, which would expand their budget and goals.
