Ben Heckner believes Leeds United might sign Hoffenheim striker Mergim Berisha on a long-term loan.
The Sky Sports Germany journalist told X that the Whites might recruit the German international on an 18-month loan with the option to make it permanent.
With Patrick Bamford out injured and Joel Piroe also struggling, Daniel Farke could enter the market before February 3rd.
Leeds United to complete Mergim Berisha move
Although early links were played at Elland Road, developments from Germany suggest that this one may have legs.
Farke acknowledged that he is not concerned about his squad right now, but with his rivals making their own additions, he may open the door as the month progresses.

Berisha is a seasoned Bundesliga player, and his Germany cap is no fluke.
This type of arrangement with a long-term loan would have suited Victor Orta, but it does provide Leeds with security if they choose that route.
If Berisha is to help with the promotion push, firing on all cylinders in the Championship will prepare him well for the Premier League, but he must do so at the top level.
If he fails to complete that assignment, the Whites may withdraw from any lasting agreement.
With conflicting stories appearing closer to home, this is definitely one to keep an eye on as January continues to go by with minimal transfer activity.
