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.

21. Sean Longstaff
Leeds and Everton had both been linked with Longstaff all summer but the former got their man. A £15m deal was announced on a Friday evening and he featured against Manchester United less than 24 hours later. | Getty Images
22. Anton Stach
The YEP exclusively reported on interest in the 6ft 4ins midfielder and a €20m (£17.3m) transfer was later confirmed. Has looked a level above since coming into the Leeds midfield. | Christian Kaspar-Bartke/Getty Images Photo: Christian Kaspar-Bartke/Getty Images
23. Julian Weigl
Multiple early reports linked Leeds with interest in Weigl, who Daniel Farke signed during his time in charge of Borussia Monchengladbach. With Longstaff and Stach signed, Farke thinks his midfield is pretty much sorted even with a couple of injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka. | Getty Images
24. Noah Sadiki
Sunderland signed the Leeds target in a deal worth around £17m earlier this summer. The YEP understands reports of an £8.5m Leeds bid were wide of the mark, but the midfielder was on their list of potential targets. | BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images
