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.

43. Fotis Ioannidis
Alongside Calvert-Lewin and Nmecha, recent reports named Ioannidis as a potential target. Panathinaikos have already rejected a £17m bid from Fiorentina for the Greek international striker, with Sporting CP also heavily linked. | Getty Images
44. Ermedin Demirovic
Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg named Leeds as one of many Premier League teams to enquire about Demirovic, who scored 15 Bundesliga goals last season. Stuttgart want to keep the 27-year-old who has been labelled 'a player to watch' in the window's final days. Focus in West Yorkshire is thought to be more on a winger/No.10 rather than a striker, however. | Selim Sudheimer/Getty Images Photo: Selim Sudheimer/Getty Images
