Daniel Farke provides brief Leeds United transfers update as manager plans talks after Cardiff City win

Farke applauded his side's efforts in South Wales as Leeds recorded a third successive victory by three goals to nil. Patrick Bamford's opener - his third in three games - was followed up by a Dan James tap-in and Georginio Rutter's result-clinching finish late on, ensuring the Whites returned to West Yorkshire with all three points.

The Leeds boss was asked after the match whether the club were anticipating any imminent incoming business after losing Djed Spence and Luke Ayling already this month.

"The last 24 hours I was just concentrated on the game, so for me it's just important at the moment when there are games, come on, all the energy - it's not like I spend the whole day on the mobile - I have to concentrate to be there with the right decisions during the game, at half-time, before the game.

"We talk perhaps on the way back a bit to our key people if there is some development but I've not heard anything so far," Farke added, suggesting he would be in contact with the likes of technical director Gretar Steinsson and transfers consultant Nick Hammond. "I don't expect anything to happen in the next 24 hours or whatever."

Farke reiterated the club will remain alert to potential market opportunities, but will not make signings for the sake of doing so. He also acknowledged it is evident the squad does need an addition or two in certain areas, albeit without suggesting which positions need supplementing.

"I mentioned we won't fall asleep until the end of the window and at the moment, yes, everyone can see it would be perhaps beneficial if on one or two positions we would have some additions if we want to stay ambitious. At the moment I work with what I've got and I'm pretty, pretty pleased that all the players buy into it who are available and deliver such great performances."
