Leeds United are expected to soon welcome their second summer signing through the door with Jaka Bijol closing in on a permanent switch from Serie A outfit Udinese. The 26-year-old Slovenian international centre-back’s move should soon be announced, having undergone medical tests on Wednesday.
Bijol is expected to follow free agent striker Lukas Nmecha through the door at Elland Road and more will follow, with the list of potential transfer targets growing every day. The YEP understands some reports in recent weeks have proven to be wide of the mark but others are genuine.
Every day appears to bring either a fresh development or a new name entirely, with the transfer market really gathering pace coming towards the end of June. And in a bid to keep you all in the loop, the YEP has rounded up all the latest information below.
43. Fotis Ioannidis
Alongside Calvert-Lewin and Nmecha, recent reports named Ioannidis as a potential target. Panathinaikos have already rejected a £17m bid from Fiorentina for the Greek international striker, with Sporting CP also heavily linked. | Getty Images
44. Ermedin Demirovic
Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg named Leeds as one of many Premier League teams to enquire about Demirovic, who scored 15 Bundesliga goals last season. Stuttgart want to keep the 27-year-old who has been labelled 'a player to watch' in the window's final days. Focus in West Yorkshire is thought to be more on a winger/No.10 rather than a striker, however. | Selim Sudheimer/Getty Images Photo: Selim Sudheimer/Getty Images
