The summer transfer window is in its infancy but speculation is already starting to heat up around West Yorkshire as Leeds United finalise their plans. Focus among supporters is mainly on Euro 2024 but those in charge at Elland Road will be working hard to prepare for another long and gruelling Championship promotion push.
It is no secret that one or two key sales are expected, with interest in the likes of Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto likely to develop into offers that simply cannot be refused. Meanwhile, decisions will need to be made on those who spent last season on loan, including Max Wober, Jack Harrison and Rasmus Kristensen.
There will be no fire sale, however, and chairman Paraag Marathe has already stressed that Leeds will strengthen, with recruitment staff pulling together a clear picture of targets before the trigger is pulled. Below, the YEP has taken a look at just about every transfer story to have surfaced so far. Scroll down for the latest.
7. Jamie Shackleton
As with Cooper, talks over a new contract are underway but if Shackleton wants to play football then a move away would be the only avenue to that. According to The Star, Sheffield United are monitoring his contract situation. | Getty Images

11. Wilfried Gnonto

12. Crysencio Summerville
The dominant transfer story in West Yorkshire. Dutchman widely expected to move on this summer, with Brighton most recently emerging as front-runners ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea after making contact over a potential move. The YEP understands competition, plus the recent Red Bull investment, has put the club in a strong position to ensure any deal is done on their terms.
