The Whites are closing on securing a swoop for striker Bamba Dieng from Marseille while left-back has been another position boss Jesse Marsch has been keen on bolstering.
Junior Firpo has been dealing with injury issues while Stuart Dallas is also out and Leeds hunt for a new left-back led them to MLS star Wagner.
Leeds have been in talks with Philadelphia Union over a move for Wagner and are hoping to get him in through the door at Elland Road time before tonight’s deadline.
However, according to transfermarkt.de, the Yorkshire giants are unlikely to succeed with their efforts to snap up Wagner in a deadline day deal.
As it stands, Philadelphia Union are reluctant to let one of their key players in Wagner go in the middle of a season.
But there is a possibility that Wagner could leave the MLS for Premier League in the next transfer window.
Wagner is believed to be keen on playing in England and it remains to be seen whether he will sign for Leeds in January, should a move not happen today.
