But next season in the top-flight could see the Whites reunite with former players, albeit on the opposition.

1. Danny Rose - Tottenham Hotspur

2. Fabian Delph - Everton
Like Rose, Delph’s name has been mooted around Elland Road but the midfielder has a point to prove at Everton having struggled with injuries following his £8m from Man City last summer. Photo: Richard Heathcote
3. Robert Snodgrass - West Ham United

5. Tom Cairney - Fulham

6. Chris Wood - Burnley
Leeds sold Wood for £15m in 2017 - Burnley’s joint club-record signing - and comes into 2020/21 in fantastic form having scored 14 goals last term - the most by any Clarets player in their top-flight history. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
