James Justin was the last arrival at Leeds United in the summer transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Leeds<\/a> having accumulated 11 points after just nine Premier League games, a lot of the focus is on how well their summer recruits have adapted to life at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Noah Okafor has been electric for Leeds<\/a>, while the likes of Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff have also been crucial to their solid start to life back in the top flight.<\/p>\n

However, while many have impressed, several others haven\u2019t been afforded the chance to, and Justin is certainly one of them.<\/p>\n

\"DanielCredit: ImagoLeeds United paid \u00a310m to sign James Justin<\/p>\n

On the face of it, paying \u00a310million to land an experienced full-back with plenty of Premier League<\/a> experience is a fairly smart deal.<\/p>\n

However, on this occasion, it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Since arriving at Elland Road, Justin has played just 64 minutes of Premier League football<\/a>, with Jayden Bogle and Gabriel Gudmundsson both well ahead of him in the pecking order.<\/p>\n

Now, given the fact that the 49ers bemoaned the lack of PSR room<\/a> amid their struggles to sign a forward, it remains even more bizarre that they spent so much on Justin.<\/p>\n

Whether Farke simply doesn\u2019t fancy him, or he was signed as an emergency backup, remains to be seen, but each week is making it look like a worse and worse deal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Leeds are going to need to recruit again in January, and they simply can\u2019t afford to make an error even remotely similar.<\/p>\n

Leeds are already looking in the right places<\/p>\n

Attacking options are what Leeds need to strengthen the most in January, and after all of the latest news, it seems as though they will be.<\/p>\n

MOT Leeds News<\/strong> revealed that Fabio Carvalho is a target for Leeds<\/a>, having fallen down the pecking order at Brentford under Keith Andrews.<\/p>\n

That could be a loan deal or a permanent transfer, depending on the finances involved.<\/p>\n

Leeds have also been linked with Gonzalo Garcia<\/a> from Real Madrid, as they look to address the issues they have had in front of goal.<\/p>\n
