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.
13. Sam Byram
Gudmundsson's arrival but also Byram's deal leaves Leeds with plenty of cover in the full-back positions with Bornauw and Isaac Schmidt in the mix too. Bornauw seems sure to make a strongest XI so it's probably a close call pick between Byram and Schmidt for the other back up option, Byram possibly narrowly preferred. | LUFC

15. Sub: Sebastiaan Bornauw
The new signing is another who will be hoping to start at centre-back but he probably begins behind Bijol and Rodon in the pecking order and an option at right back too. | LUFC

18. Sub: Jack Harrison
Harrison even making the bench won't be everyone's cup of tea after leaving the club for the last two seasons in the Championship as he maintained his run of top-flight football with Everton. The winger's future also remains very unclear. IF, though, he does stay then a player of his experience and quality when on form surely at the very least makes the bench, if not the present XI. | Getty Images
