Leeds United have enjoyed a strong transfer window so far and have another full month to conclude their transfer business. Daniel Farke has welcomed seven first-team additions to his squad at a combined cost of around £75million, with the likelihood being that outlay will top £100m come September 1.
Marquee arrivals are still expected out wide and upfront, with Leeds’ unsuccessful €35m pursuit of Igor Paixão offering a hint at how much could be spent on those two key positions. Farke is also thought to want added depth across the board and could look at the prospect of a No.10 further down the line.
Leeds have been linked with a host of exciting players across the continent, with some reports of course more accurate than others. Below, the YEP takes a look at the latest on those transfer links as we enter the final month of this year’s summer window.
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
14. Sam Johnstone
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
Leeds had been linked with interest across multiple outlets earlier this summer but The Times recently reported Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is keen to keep the 33-year-old on board. | Getty Images
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
17. Sebastiaan Bornauw
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
