Leeds United have another new arrival, leading to a new best XI and bench for Daniel Farke’s Whites.
Having already signed Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw, Leeds have added the services of Sweden international left back Gabriel Gudmundsson from Lille for £10m.
Gudmundsson’s arrival comes hot on the heels of last season’s first choice left back Junior Firpo’s departure from the club upon his contract expiring.
But Leeds have also made signings from within, Sam Byram penning terms on a new one-year deal and Jack Harrison back in pre-season training upon returning to the club from two season-long loans at Everton.
Quite what the future holds for Harrison remains to be seen but here’s clearly very much with the group as it stands. All things considered, it likely leads to a new best XI and bench, our idea of which we run through here.

2. RB: Jayden Bogle
New arrival Sebastiaan Bornauw is a right-footed centre back who can play as a right back but Bogle appears pretty nailed as first choice in that position after a very impressive first season with the Whites. | Getty Images
3. CB: Joe Rodon
A rock at the back and likely just a case of who partners him despite the arrivals of fellow centre-backs Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw. | Getty Images
4. CB: Jaka Bijol
Like all new signings, Bijol will need time to settle but it would seem likely that the towering Slovenian international would become one of United's first choice centre-backs although there is now huge strength in depth with Sebastiaan Bornauw and Struijk firmly in contention too. | LUFC
5. LB: Gabriel Gundmundsson
The £10m new boy comes straight into the XI as clear new first choice left back - replacing the outgoing Junior Firpo. | LUFC
