Leeds United continued their fantastic run of form in the Championship as they beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Ewood Park on Saturday.
Goals from Dan James and Crysencio Summerville secured all three points for the Whites in Lancashire but it did nothing to close the gap on the top two.
Ipswich Town and Leicester continue to run away with the automatic promotion places as they sit on 48 and 49 points respectively, with a combined 31 wins from 40 matches.
Daniel Farke‘s side, meanwhile, have won six of their last seven league games and sit seven points behind the Tractor Boys with 41 points in third place.
The Whites must continue to bring in the results and hope that the current top two slip up at some point and provide them with a chance to move up into the promotion places.
Bolstering the playing squad in January could give Leeds a boost and help them push for an automatic spot in the second half of the season.
Leeds transfer news – Sam Curtis
One player who has been linked with a potential move to Elland Road at the start of next year is impressive teenage full-back Sam Curtis.
90min reported last month that the Whites are one of a number of clubs eyeing up the 18-year-old defender ahead of the January transfer window.
The outlet claimed that Premier League giants Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Manchester City all want to sign him next month.
It added that Leeds, Middlesbrough, and Hull City are three Championship sides interested in Curtis, whilst reigning Scottish Premiership champions Celtic have also had an eye on the Irish prospect.
