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.
19. Jaka Bijol
Leeds confirmed the £15m signing of Bijol, who signed a five-year deal at Elland Road after leaving Udinese, in June. He looks set to join Joe Rodon in the first-choice centre-back pairing. | Getty Images
20. Gabriel Gudmundsson
The YEP initially broke news of interest in the Lille left-back, with Leeds since confirming a £10million transfer since. The 26-year-old signed a four-year deal at Elland Road and has been excellent since. | AFP via Getty Images
21. Sean Longstaff
Leeds and Everton had both been linked with Longstaff all summer but the former got their man. A £15m deal was announced on a Friday evening and he featured against Manchester United less than 24 hours later. | Getty Images
22. Anton Stach
The YEP exclusively reported on interest in the 6ft 4ins midfielder and a €20m (£17.3m) transfer was later confirmed. Has looked a level above since coming into the Leeds midfield. | Christian Kaspar-Bartke/Getty Images Photo: Christian Kaspar-Bartke/Getty Images
23. Julian Weigl
Multiple early reports linked Leeds with interest in Weigl, who Daniel Farke signed during his time in charge of Borussia Monchengladbach. With Longstaff and Stach signed, Farke thinks his midfield is pretty much sorted even with a couple of injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka. | Getty Images
24. Noah Sadiki
Sunderland signed the Leeds target in a deal worth around £17m earlier this summer. The YEP understands reports of an £8.5m Leeds bid were wide of the mark, but the midfielder was on their list of potential targets. | BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images
