Leeds United’s summer transfer window has got off to an impressive start amid hope things can really start kicking into gear soon. The Whites have already welcomed free agent winger Harry Wilson and £34million centre-back Tarik Muharemovic through the door, with interest building in a number of other targets.
Earlier today, the YEP reported the latest on Manchester City’s James Trafford with Leeds hopeful a deal can be struck for the highly-rated Manchester City goalkeeper. It’s a position they need to fill badly following Karl Darlow’s exit as a free agent and subsequent move to Manchester United.
Leeds are also continuing to pursue Julian Brandt but have drawn a line in the sand regarding one other key target. Below, the YEP rounds up the latest as we know it on all possible incomings and outgoings.

20. Nico Elvedi
Having sanctioned Bornauw's exit, Leeds agreed a deal worth £8.5m in total for Borussia Monchengladbach's Nico Elvedi. The Swiss international signed a three-year deal and has looked steady so far.
21. Ladislav Krejci
The Athletic named Krejci as someone who was 'admired' at Elland Road right at the start of the summer. Leeds went elsewhere, however, with Muharemovic signed. | Getty Images
22. Shea Charles
Leeds saw multiple bids for Charles rejected and the YEP reported last month that no further bids would be made. Their final offer remained on the table but Fulham reached Southampton's £30m price-tag and got a deal done earlier this month.
23. Julian Brandt
The YEP first reported on interest in Brandt earlier this summer and the attacking midfielder's dad travelled to Thorp Arch for talks. But it always felt like the 30-year-old was exploring other options and he joined Ajax on a free recently. | Getty Images
24. Harry Wilson
Wilson arrived as a free agent earlier this summer to become Leeds' first signing of the window. He penned a four-year deal and has been regularly involved so far this season.
