If nothing else the next few months promise to intrigue at Leeds United. The Whites will have to make financial ends meet following their Championship play-off final defeat, but the club have already made it clear that promotion is the goal once more next time around.
As such, they’ll be looking to give Daniel Farke the tools needed to do the job by building a squad capable of getting over the line. It remains to be seen how much money Leeds will be able to spend, but they’ll certainly be keeping an eye on the free agents market as a host of players approach the end of their current deals.
Here’s a look at 10 potential free agents the Whites could consider signing should they be made available in the coming weeks.
1. Charlie Taylor (Burnley)
Taylor has been offered a deal to stay at Burnley, but nothing has been announced just yet and Leeds may well be monitoring his situation closely given they have been linked with the full-back over the last 12 months. | Getty Images
2. Ben Johnson (West Ham United)
Leeds have regularly been linked with a move for Johnson and they will be aware that his contract at the London Stadium is coming to an end. Johnson may well be keen to stay in the top flight but a switch to Leeds could appeal. | Getty Images
3. Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)
Wood has a history at Leeds and its fair to say the manner of his exit in 2017 did not go down well. As such, he might not be the most popular choice among supporters if Leeds were to approach the New Zealander. However, the 32-year-old still knows where the back of the net is, bagging 14 Premier League goals this season, and should he leave the City Ground, he could be an option for the Whites. | Getty Images
4. Oliver McBurnie (Sheffield United)
McBurnie will leave Bramall Lane this summer and his goalscoring record in the Championship, bagging 44 goals in 125 games, should be noted. McBurnie spent time at Leeds as a youngster and there's a chance he could be tempted to make a return if the Whites were interested. | Getty Images
5. Max Lowe (Sheffield United)
Leeds remain short of options at full-back and Lowe certainly fits the bill in that respect. The 27-year-old has heaps of experience and could be a valuable addition. | Getty Images
6. Daniel Jebbison (Sheffield United)
Leeds have already been linked with a move for the highly rated Jebbison, who missed much of the Blades' Premier League campaign. | Getty Images
