The summer transfer window was a productive period for Leeds United as the Whites prepared for their big return to the Premier League.
After securing promotion via a dramatic Championship title win, Daniel Farke’s squad was boosted with ten new arrivals and a number of them have already proven their worth with the likes of Anton Stach, Sean Longstaff and Dominic Calvert-Lewin impressing during the early months of their time with the club.
