Leeds United are less than two weeks away from the start of their 2025/26 Premier League season but as Daniel Farke’s squad prepare for Everton, those above the German continue to work on transfers. Seven solid signings have beefed up the squad in defence and midfield but those finishing touches further forward are yet to materialise.
The Whites are known to be in for marquee additions out wide and upfront, while there is also possible scope for added quality at No.10. Links to exciting talents in each position have emerged throughout the summer and while it has been relatively quiet over the past week, it is unlikely that is down to a lack of effort in the background.
Leeds have benefitted from the domino effect in recent windows and might hope to do so again this month, with those inside Elland Road fully aware there is still plenty to do in order to give Farke a competitive team. Below, the YEP takes a look at how that team might look if Adam Underwood et al. get their men.
1. GK: Lucas Perri
Leeds got a deal over the line for Perri earlier this summer and he has come straight in as first-choice. A few early questions so far but the Brazilian should add plenty of experience across the campaign. | Getty Images
2. RB: Jayden Bogle
Earned another shot at the Premier League following an excellent 2024/25 campaign and looked great so far, linking up really well with whoever is ahead of him at right-wing. Test will be how he copes with the world's best wingers running at him, although one-v-one defending has improved a lot. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
3. CB: Joe Rodon
Ever-present Rodon has earned his shot at Premier League football, having rarely been given a chance at Spurs. Could easily have won Player of the Season and his skillset should translate well in the top-flight. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
4. CB: Jaka Bijol
Leeds confirmed the permanent signing of Bijol in June and he should come into the starting-XI from now onwards. Has looked a real step up on either side of the centre-back pairing and settling in nicely. A huge physical presence. | Getty Images
5. LB: Gabriel Gudmundsson
Like Bijol, the 26-year-old Sweden international is vastly experienced and entering the prime of his career. Has looked impressive so far and should only improve as he adjusts to the Premier League and his new club. | Getty Images
6. CDM: Ethan Ampadu
Has been a huge miss after that opening-weekend win over Everton due to a knee injury, proving once again how important he remains at the base of Farke's midfield. Is expected to remain one of the first names on the teamsheet once he returns. | Getty Images
