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.
25. Kalvin Phillips
The 29-year-old is reportedly 'desperate' to come back home, although high wages and a lack of regular football at already-relegated Ipswich Town present issues. Remains a Manchester City player at present, with no suggestion a move anywhere is close. | Getty Images
26. Habib Diarra
The YEP reported on interest in Diarra, with Leeds believed to have lodged a £22m bid. Elland Road chiefs didn't see it as a likely move from the off, however, and he has since joined Sunderland for a club-record £30m. Leeds aren't thought to have returned with a second offer. | FREDERICK FLORIN/AFP via Getty Images Photo: FREDERICK FLORIN/AFP via Getty Images
27. Gustavo Hamer
Fresh links to Hamer were inevitable following Sheffield United's play-off defeat and recent reports suggest the Dutchman could be available on loan with a £15-20m obligation to buy. Suggestions of a move to Leeds being virtually wrapped up, however, are believed to be wide of the mark at this current moment in time. | George Wood/Getty Images Photo: George Wood/Getty Images
28. Christantus Uche
The Athletic reported that Leeds had enquired about the 22-year-old midfielder, albeit no bid has been made. Wolves were close to securing a £17m move for the Getafe star but it collapsed at the final hurdle, with a move still possible before Monday night. | Alex Caparros/Getty Images Photo: Alex Caparros/Getty Images
29. James McAtee
Leeds linked with interest earlier this summer but a move never looked likely. Has since joined Nottingham Forest. | Gareth Copley/Getty Images Photo: Gareth Copley/Getty Images
30. Dilane Bakwa
Strasbourg's Bakwa is believed to have been assessed by Leeds, as per the Athletic, but is of interest elsewhere too. Forest have reportedly seen a bid rejected and remain interested, while there will be plenty of competition elsewhere. | VALERY HACHE/AFP via Getty Images Photo: VALERY HACHE/AFP via Getty Images
