It’s been another busy week for Leeds United’s recruitment staff with one transfer confirmed and another expected to follow shortly. Anton Stach’s £17.4million move from Hoffenheim was officially announced on Tuesday and 48 hours later, goalkeeper Lucas Perri emerged as prime target number seven.
An agreement looks to have been reached with Lyon and the YEP understands Perri will undergo medical tests in Germany before meeting up with his new teammates for pre-season. After that, first-team additions in defence and midfield will be pretty much sorted, with all eyes on attack.
Leeds are known to want difference-makers at left-wing and upfront, while there is still a chance they revisit interest in a No.10 further down the line. Depth is also needed across the board and the YEP has the latest on every transfer story so far this summer below.
