They have managed one loan signing this week though with winger Louis Senior set to unite with twin Innes to form a lethal edge for the Tigers.
Lingard revealed to BBC Radio Leeds that Senior would hopefully be the first of many signings: “We were down to one out-and-out winger, so we needed to strengthen that department.
“We’re pleased to get him in for that initial two-week period, hopefully, it’s going to be longer than that,” Lingard said of Senior, before explaining the club’s efforts to recruit other players.
Lingard continued: “Conversations that we’ve had as a club with other clubs as well, have been, ongoing, hour by hour. Things change and things move. Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to bring anybody else in this week, and it’s not been through a lack of trying behind the scenes.
