Leeds United are nearing the 2019 winter transfer window - but can you remember all of the faces brought into Elland Road over the past eight years?
Phil Hay takes a closer look at those first-team recruits who arrived in West Yorkshire in recent seasons.
Leeds United's January signings
A move completed on deadline day for an upfront fee of 2.5m. Roberts arrived from West Brom on a four-and-a-half-year contract, six months before his deal at The Hawthorns expired.
Cardiff City made a concerted bid to land him but Leeds were equally willing to meet Middlesbroughs initial valuation of 3m and the midfielder accepted the offer from Elland Road.
The left-back had pedigree in Belgium, where he had picked up medals with Club Brugge, and Leeds spent 1.5m to bring him to England. The transfer was not a success.
Leeds teed up this signing in advance of the window opening and paid Gamba Osaka 500,000 for Ideguchis signature. He was highly-rated and a Japan international but it is doubtful that he will ever make a first-team appearance.
The Elland Road club made hard work of the 2017 winter window and both of their signings arrived at the death. Swansea Citys Barrow was one of them, a player who had worked under Garry Monk previously. He hardly played.
Pedraza was 20 when he signed on a temporary basis from Villarreal and the winger had something about him. Had United been promoted, an agreement was in place for him to sign for 10m. Real Madrid are now being linked with him.
A no-brainer to keep the Spaniard after a loan spell from Al-Arabi in Qatar. Still going strong at Elland Road, at the age of 33.
A 575,000 recruit from Brentford and an attempt by Steve Evans to strengthen his midfield. Evans departure the following summer spelled the end of Diagouragas career at Leeds, almost before it had started.
Cut short a loan at Huddersfield to switch to Leeds from parent club Middlesbrough on a temporary basis. Scored a peach of a goal on his debut against Rotherham but made a meagre impact overall.
A name which brings to mind the nightmare of January 2015, when Leeds were under an FFP transfer embargo. The Albanian, who was loaned from Catania in Italy, didnt look good enough on paper and wasnt good enough in the flesh.
Signed on loan from Palermo without undergoing a medical. The chickens came home to roost when it transpired that NGoyi had a chronic thigh problem.
Like NGoyi, a loanee from Palermo but a much better piece of business. The centre-back joined permanently in the summer and is currently playing in the Premier League with Cardiff City.
