With a lack of football action this weekend, Leeds fans have been pondering realistic targets they should sign if they do indeed gain promotion at the end of the season.

What's he said?

The Whites' title charge is on hold for at least another month with all professional divisions in England under lockdown due to the ongoing pandemic sweeping the globe.

Leeds are sat seven points clear of the playoff positions, so barring any drastic catastrophe, they should end a 16-year absence from the top-flight this summer.

The Athletic's Phil Hay provided a Q&A on the sorts of players they could go for, and one name frequently popped up - Aleksander Mitrovic.
