Garry Monk has been happy with Leeds United’s work so far in the ongoing transfer window, but has pointed to the difficulties of signing players in the January window.
Leeds confirmed the signature of Pablo Hernandez on a permanent contract earlier this month, but other than that the club are yet to take any decisive steps in the ongoing transfer period.
Monk has talked about making one or two key additions to his squad in order to further boost their promotion hopes and is still hopeful of getting a couple of deals done.
The Leeds boss admits that the club are not close to announcing any deals, but he is happy with the way the people behind the scenes have been putting in the hard yards to sign players.
Monk also feels that signing new faces in January is not always a straightforward operation, but he remains confident that he will be able to get his targets by the end of the window

The Leeds United manager said in a press conference, when asked whether he is happy with the approaches and the bids the club have made in January: “Nothing’s imminent, but the club are working very hard behind the scenes.
“We are making sure that we can get those one or two through the door; like I said it is to help the squad, it is to give them the best chance.
“Very happy with the squad, proud to be working with the players, but I want to do it to help the group and they understand that as well.
“January is never an easy window; there are a lot of factors that go into it.
"It is not just simply identifying player and they come through the door.
“The club are working really hard and we are hopeful that things can be done.”
Leeds are currently third in the Championship table and will take on Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday in a Yorkshire derby.
