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.
25. Kalvin Phillips
The 29-year-old is reportedly 'desperate' to come back home, although high wages and a lack of regular football at already-relegated Ipswich Town present issues. Remains a Manchester City player at present, with no suggestion a move anywhere is close. | Getty Images
26. Habib Diarra
The YEP reported on interest in Diarra, with Leeds believed to have lodged a £22m bid. Elland Road chiefs didn't see it as a likely move from the off, however, and he has since joined Sunderland for a club-record £30m. Leeds aren't thought to have returned with a second offer. | FREDERICK FLORIN/AFP via Getty Images Photo: FREDERICK FLORIN/AFP via Getty Images
27. Gustavo Hamer
Fresh links to Hamer were inevitable following Sheffield United's play-off defeat and recent reports suggest the Dutchman could be available on loan with a £15-20m obligation to buy. Suggestions of a move to Leeds being virtually wrapped up, however, are believed to be wide of the mark at this current moment in time. | George Wood/Getty Images Photo: George Wood/Getty Images
28. Christantus Uche
The Athletic reported that Leeds had enquired about the 22-year-old midfielder, albeit no bid has been made. Wolves were close to securing a £17m move for the Getafe star but it collapsed at the final hurdle, with a move still possible before Monday night. | Alex Caparros/Getty Images Photo: Alex Caparros/Getty Images
29. James McAtee
Leeds linked with interest earlier this summer but a move never looked likely. Has since joined Nottingham Forest. | Gareth Copley/Getty Images Photo: Gareth Copley/Getty Images
30. Dilane Bakwa
Strasbourg's Bakwa is believed to have been assessed by Leeds, as per the Athletic, but is of interest elsewhere too. Forest have reportedly seen a bid rejected and remain interested, while there will be plenty of competition elsewhere. | VALERY HACHE/AFP via Getty Images Photo: VALERY HACHE/AFP via Getty Images
