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.

37. Noah Okafor
Leeds announced the £18m signing of Okafor from AC Milan earlier this month, with the hope he will add a direct goal threat to Farke's attacking options. Signed a four-year contract. | Getty Images
38. Beto
Sky Sports first named Beto as a possible target for Leeds, although the YEP understands a deal would be difficult given the Toffees lost Dominic Calvert-Lewin upon the expiration of his contract last month. The likelihood Leeds and Everton will be fighting for similar positions next season might also effect their stance. | Getty Images
39. Callum Wilson
TalkSPORT labelled Leeds 'front-runners' to sign Wilson earlier this summer but Nmecha's arrival virtually ruled it out. Has since joined West Ham. | Getty Images
40. Rodrigo Muniz
The Athletic reported a bid worth £32m in total had been rejected by Fulham earlier this summer, with no intention of selling the Brazilian as things stand. Atalanta looked close to completing a move but reports suggested they would have had to pay £50m. Now looks set to remain at Craven Cottage. | Getty Images
41. Lukas Nmecha
The YEP reported in June a deal was close and Leeds confirmed it not long after. The 26-year-old striker signed a two-year deal as a free agent, with his Wolfsburg contract expiring, and got his debut against Manchester United. | Getty Images
42. Dominic Calvert-Lewin
The 28-year-old signed a three-year contract after joining Leeds as a free agent earlier this month. Got his first minutes against Sheffield Wednesday and is still building match sharpness, having missed out on full pre-season after leaving Everton in June. | Getty Images
