Leeds United have just over two weeks to conclude their transfer business and it feels like there is still plenty to do. A combined £74.1million has been spent on three arrivals Harry Wilson, Tarik Muharemovic and James Trafford, all of which upgrade Daniel Farke’s starting-XI.
But attacking depth is still lacking with Leeds known to want difference-making quality on the left and competition for Dominic Calvert-Lewin upfront. Natural left-sided defensive cover is also needed while a potential squad exit could make central centre-back a position that needs reinforcing.
Leeds could do with a back-up to first-choice goalkeeper James Trafford as well, with a lot to do inside the next fortnight or so. With all of that in mind, the YEP has the latest on every major transfer story involving the Whites so far this summer.
1. Karl Darlow
The experienced goalkeeper left Leeds as a free agent to join rivals Manchester United. The YEP understands a new deal was on offer at Elland Road but plans to sign a new goalkeeper meant he couldn't be guaranteed the No.1 spot. | Getty Images
2. Lucas Perri
The Brazilian was set to join Torino on loan for several weeks and that move went through recently. Leeds allowed Perri to leave after getting their own goalkeeper situation sorted, while there is also an option to buy worth around £14m. | Steve Bardens/Getty Images
3. Illan Meslier
Leeds confirmed Meslier's exit following the expiration of his contract. The Frenchman joined Premier League champions Arsenal, where at present he will be third choice, and was recently linked with a shock second transfer to Lyon. | Jonathan Gawthorpe
4. Sebastiaan Bornauw
Bornauw was the subject of interest from the Bundesliga and recently joined Hamburg on loan for the season. The German outfit hold an option to buy the defender for around £3-4m. | Alex Pantling/Getty Images

5. Pascal Struijk
The Dutchman called time on an eight-and-a-half year spell at Elland Road, joining Brighton in a deal the YEP understands is worth £18m plus £2m add-ons. Leeds also inserted a sell-on clause into the terms. | AFP via Getty Images
6. Isaac Schmidt
Schmidt joined Swiss side BSC Young Boys for a fee the YEP understands to have been around £2m. Leeds have essentially ensured they didn't lose any book value on the full-back. | Getty Images
