Leeds are starting to discover which transfer targets are unlikely to join in January.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 49ers<\/a> have a shortlist as they aim to help Daniel Farke<\/a> steer Leeds<\/a> clear of the bottom three, but some are easier to land than others. <\/p>\n

For example, Harry Wilson is keen to stay with Fulham<\/a> amid interest from Leeds, whilst Como want to keep Martin Baturina<\/a> despite the Croatian having admirers at Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now \u2013 according to talkSPORT<\/a> \u2013 Promise David is unlikely to move to Yorkshire either.<\/p>\n

Promise David unwilling to sign up for a relegation fight amid Leeds United links<\/p>\n

It was Claret and Hugh who revealed in November that Leeds and West Ham are set to battle<\/a> over the Canada international this winter.<\/p>\n

Which player would you be happy for Leeds to sell in January to fund their transfer business? Let us know in the comments\u2026 \ud83e\udd14\ud83d\udcb0 <\/p>\n

The likes of Joel Piroe and Willy Gnonto are struggling to force their way into Farke’s plans.<\/p>\n

David has been a sensation for Union Saint-Gilloise so far this season, scoring ten goals in 24 appearances across all competitions, and is keen to continue shining in Belgium.<\/p>\n

TalkSPORT believe the Union Saint-Gilloise No.12 is reluctant to swap UEFA Champions League football to fight it out near the bottom of the Premier League, an understandable stance in fairness.<\/p>\n

Despite taking four points from clashes against Chelsea and Liverpool, Leeds still have a lot of work to do in the relegation battle \u2013 defeat to Brentford on Sunday could see Farke slip back into the bottom three if West Ham beat Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

With only three Premier League games before the winter transfer window opens, Leeds are unlikely to completely change their image in time for David \u2013 who Jesse Marsch admires<\/a> \u2013 to consider joining. <\/p>\n

Silver lining for Leeds United<\/p>\n

While this is ultimately a blow for Leeds, there is one silver lining in the fact David has made this clear now \u2013 rather than waste the club\u2019s precious time during the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n

Leeds need to be quick in what is historically a difficult market to navigate, considering clubs rarely want to sell their best players in the middle of the season, so time will be of the essence.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is a positive in some ways that Leeds can cross David off the list now, and focus on targeting players who are more willing to move to Yorkshire for a relegation battle. <\/p>\n
