Among the potential reinforcement areas listed by Daniel Farke in January, goalkeeper was not one of them. The Leeds United boss had faced calls to drop Illan Meslier following his blunder against Hull City early on in the winter transfer window, having also seen him concede a bizarre goal against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in October.

Since the start of 2025, Farke has remained steadfast in his attacking front four, with Daniel James, Brenden Aaronson, Manor Solomon, and Joel Piroe featuring in every starting lineup in the league since New Year's Day.

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke was full of praise for midfielder Brenden Aaronson after the Whites secured a 2-0 win over Millwall in the Championship at Elland Road on Wednesday night.
