The transfer window is still a few weeks away from opening but speculation surrounding Leeds United’s summer business is rife. Elland Road chiefs look set for a very busy summer which chairman Paraag Marathe has described as the most important in decades, with reinforcements needed across the board to give Daniel Farke his best shot at survival.
Leeds are known to want top-level additions in goal and upfront, while multiple reports have touted central defence and midfield as other priority positions. Left-back will also be a key area of focus, particularly if Junior Firpo doesn’t stay beyond the end of his current contract this summer.
He and a handful of other squad members could be set for the exit door, while the focus of many fans is on those club chiefs hope to bring in. And with all that in mind, the YEP has rounded up the latest on just about every transfer story surrounding the Whites so far.
7. Manor Solomon
Leeds confirmed in early July that Solomon would return to parent club Tottenham Hotspur, where for a while he looked set to remain. Recent reports suggest he could now leave and wide reinforcements remain a priority at Elland Road, although no fresh links have emerged. | Getty Images
8. Jack Harrison
Looks set to remain a Leeds player for the upcoming season, with no links to any kind of exit before Monday's deadline. Farke labelled the winger 'pretty important to our group' earlier this week and said he didn't expect a move away. | Getty Images
9. Joe Gelhardt
Another who Leeds had hoped to get between £3-4m for but he has since joined Hull City on loan. Thought to have made clear his desire to return to the MKM Stadium where he played regularly during the second-half of last season. | Getty Images
10. Largie Ramazani
The Athletic reported earlier this summer the winger had rejected approaches from a number of European clubs, but this week he joined Valencia on loan. The deal is a straight loan with no permanent option. Ramazani came off the bench to get an assist on his debut on Friday evening. | Ben Roberts Photo/Getty Images Photo: Ben Roberts Photo/Getty Images

12. Patrick Bamford
Left out of Leeds' pre-season tour squad and Farke revealed following the draw against Manchester United he's informed Bamford he's not in next season's plans.
