Leeds United can officially sign new players on Sunday and while such quickfire arrivals are not expected, the opening of the transfer window will kick off a busy summer in West Yorkshire. A mini-window will open between June 1 and 10 before the main event on June 16, at which point Elland Road chiefs will have a list of targets they believe can ensure Premier League survival.
Work is already well underway at Leeds and will have been for several months, with recruitment staff now able to act on plans which relied on Elland Road hosting Premier League football next season. And as is always the case around this time of year, reports of transfer interest are really gathering pace.
Leeds have already been linked with a huge number of players across multiple positions, while there is also uncertainty surrounding some of Daniel Farke’s current crop. And to try and bring order to the madness, the YEP has rounded up the latest information on every transfer story so far below.
13. Lucas Perri
Leeds confirmed the signing of Perri for a fee believed to be €16m last month. Goalkeeper signed a four-year deal and has played all three Premier League matches so far. | Getty Images

Alan Nixon reported a while ago that Leeds are taking a look at Johnstone, who is expected to leave Wolves this summer in search of regular starts. A move for Perri virtually rules this one out, with Burnley and Sunderland thought to be interested. | Getty Images
15. Nick Pope

The YEP first reported on interest in Bornauw, with confirmation of his £5m move from VfL Wolfsburg coming the following day. The 26-year-old defender signed a four-year contract at Elland Road and got his competitive debut against Sheffield Wednesday in midweek. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
18. James Justin
