Leeds United have a little over three weeks to conclude their transfer business and plenty of important deals still do get done. Seven solid signings have built a strong foundation but all involved know star quality is needed further forward to give Daniel Farke a serious shot at survival.
While it has been a quiet week in terms of reports, that does not mean Leeds are sat on their hands and recruitment chiefs will be hard at work behind the scenes, with known interest in top-quality options out wide and upfront. However, competition is starting to intensify amid suggestions of interest and even bids on some targets from elsewhere.
It’s set to be a busy few weeks in West Yorkshire, not least because actual football gets underway in 11 days, and the pressure on Leeds to get their final bits of recruitment right will only ramp up. Below, the YEP has the latest on every transfer story so far, including updates on the likes of Bilal El Khannouss, Dilane Bakwa and Rodrigo Muniz.
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.

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.
