It’s been a relatively quiet week inside Elland Road with little palpable transfer progress since Jaka Bijol’s Monday arrival. Leeds United paid £15million to land their top defensive target nice and early but things aren’t expected to fully kick into gear until July - which has come around quickly.
Leeds’ transfer activity is expected to kick into gear from next week onwards with known interest in the likes of Lille left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise midfielder Noah Sadiki and Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz. There have also been reports surrounding a huge number of other players, albeit some have proven to be wide of the mark.
It’s already been a busy summer of transfer links and things are only expected to get busier. And so to keep you in the loop going into July, the YEP has the latest on every transfer story below.
13. Lucas Perri
Leeds confirmed the signing of Perri for a fee believed to be €16m last month. Goalkeeper signed a four-year deal and has played all three Premier League matches so far. | Getty Images

Alan Nixon reported a while ago that Leeds are taking a look at Johnstone, who is expected to leave Wolves this summer in search of regular starts. A move for Perri virtually rules this one out, with Burnley and Sunderland thought to be interested. | Getty Images
15. Nick Pope

16. Vladimir Coufal
TalkSPORT claimed Leeds and Everton were 'tracking' Coufal, who left West Ham as a free agent following the expiration of his contract. The experienced full-back instead joined Hoffenheim earlier this month. | Mike Hewitt/Getty Images Photo: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images

The YEP first reported on interest in Bornauw, with confirmation of his £5m move from VfL Wolfsburg coming the following day. The 26-year-old defender signed a four-year contract at Elland Road and got his competitive debut against Sheffield Wednesday in midweek. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
18. James Justin
Leeds were in need of full-back cover amid uncertainty surrounding Schmidt and earlier this month confirmed the signing of Justin. They paid Leicester City an initial £8m plus £2m of potential add-ons. The 27-year-old signed a four-year contract at Elland Road. | Alex Pantling/Getty Images Photo: Alex Pantling/Getty Images
