Leeds United have already welcomed two big signings through the door - with more expected to follow. Harry Wilson joined the Whites on a free transfer following his Fulham exit while centre-back Tarik Muharemovic arrived from Sassuolo in a £34million transfer, with both filling key squad gaps.
There is hope another key arrival will follow in the form of goalkeeper James Trafford, who all being well is on course to become Leeds’ club-record signing at £40million. It hasn’t all been plain sailing, however, with Southampton not budging on Shea Charles and free agent target Julian Brandt moving elsewhere.
The YEP understands Leeds have been evaluating other attacking options with one summer 2025 ‘stretch target’ potentially back in the picture. Take a look below to see how Leeds could line up if a couple more top transfer targets are landed.

1. Dream Leeds United XI
Let's take a look how Leeds United could line up next season if a couple of recent transfer targets are landed.

2. GK: James Trafford
Leeds are close to agreeing a club-record £40m deal for the Man City goalkeeper, who is believed to be keen on a move to Elland Road. It's been quiet for a few days regarding the 23-year-old but hope remains he can become the Whites' most expensive ever player. | Getty Images

3. CB: Joe Rodon
Only Ethan Ampadu played more Premier League minutes than Rodon last season, with the Welshman virtually ever-present for three years at Leeds now. He waved goodbye to promotion-winning partner Pascal Struijk last month. | Getty Images

4. CB: Jaka Bijol
The Slovenian was made to wait for his opportunity last season but took it when it came. Settled into that central centre-back role really nicely, bullying opposition strikers most weeks. | AFP via Getty Images

5. CB: Tarik Muharemovic
Leeds agreed a £34m deal for the 23-year-old defender last month to replace Pascal Struijk. It's early days but Thursday night's pre-season debut vs Sunderland was hugely promising. | Getty Images

6. RWB: Jayden Bogle
Bogle enjoyed a fantastic season back in the Premier League with Leeds, his 32 starts bettered only by three teammates. James Justin could feasibly come in when more defensive solidity is required. | Getty Images
