Leeds United completed their summer transfer business with the announcement of two signings on deadline day. Ao Tanaka joined from Fortuna Dusseldorf while Isaac Schmidt’s move from FC St. Gallen was confirmed late in the day.
The pair join Joe Rodon, Alex Cairns, Joe Rothwell, Manor Solomon, Jayden Bogle & Largie Ramazani as the new arrivals at Elland Road this summer. A number of players have left the club with big-money moves for Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Archie Gray while the likes of Glen Kamara, Marco Roca & Diego Llorente have also departed.
Leeds showed interest in a number of players throughout the window as they looked to strengthen their ranks for another Premier League promotion bid. The Whites have picked up five points from their opening three games after two draws before picking up their first win with a 2-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday last week.

11. Gustavo Hamer
The attacking midfielder remains at Bramall Lane after a bid of £13m from Leeds United was rejected by Sheffield United.

12. Oliver Skipp
The midfielder was linked with Leeds by The Athletic having worked with Farke at Norwich. However it was claimed he was not keen on a Championship move and instead signed for Leicester City for £20m. | Getty Images
