Liam Cooper called up for the Scotland squad again. Not surprising the way he's been playing for us.

Jeez something like this would be good.

The Whites have struggled over recent weeks, and after leading the Championship table just last month, they now find themselves in sixth position, following a miserable run of four defeats in their last five outings.

Thomas Christiansen has a lot of work to do at Elland Road, and is now in the midst of his first problematic period during his time in charge at Leeds, after making a fine start to life in West Yorkshire.

One particular area where the Whites certainly need to improve is central midfield, with a lack of physicality proving to be detrimental to their ability to gain points during tough contests.

With this in mind, Leeds should consider moving for Jan Kirchhoff, who is currently available on a free transfer following his release from Sunderland in the summer.

The towering 6ft 5in German possesses all of the attributes needed to be a success in the Championship, what with the robust nature of his playing style.

He is an accomplished passer of the football, composed when in possession and is a real asset from set pieces, both defensively and offensively.

The former Bayern Munich ace is also wonderfully versatile and can play in either central midfield or centre-back positions - something that could prove to be crucially important for Leeds during what will be an extremely long and physically punishing Championship campaign.

And if Christiansen manages to bring him to Elland Road, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for the Whites.
