In what appears to be a bustling time for Leeds United, they have now secured their first signing of the January transfer window.
Contrary to Daniel Farke’s earlier statement about a quiet January, Leeds have wasted no time in getting their transfer business underway.
Reports suggest that Leeds will be strengthening various positions this window, aligning with Farke’s strategy for the team.
Their initial signing, 17-year-old goalkeeper Robbie Cook, aligns perfectly with Farke’s vision for the window ahead.
Cook, a former Perth Glory player, has signed a three-year deal with Leeds after impressing during his trial at Thorp Arch. Despite interest from Manchester United and Sunderland, Leeds managed to secure the talented Australian prospect.
As Cook joins the ranks of Leeds’ successful academy, he aims to further his already promising career.
Following Illan Meslier’s recent struggles in goal for Leeds, Cook’s arrival could spark healthy competition within the team. With the pressure on the Leeds boss to make changes, Cook’s potential success could be a significant turning point for the club.
While he may not be immediately ready for first-team action, Cook’s presence could challenge current goalkeepers Karl Darlow and Alex Cairns in the near future, making him a valuable addition to Leeds’ squad.
