Leeds United are ramping up their preparations for the new season with pre-season training set to begin next week.
The Whites appear to be on the brink of appointing Daniel Farke as their new boss, and things should only get busier from there with new signings and more departures expected. With that in mind, we have rounded up some of the best players who have seen their contracts with Premier League clubs expire over the weekend.
There are now plenty of free agents available to Leeds should they wish to save a little money in the market, and here we have 13 of the best, discarding the players Leeds don’t have a realistic chance of signing.
1. Axel Tuanzebe
Tuanzebe seems like a risky option after an underwhelming Stoke loan spell last summer, but someone will take a chance on the former Manchester United star.
2. Ciaran Clark
Clark has left Newcastle and would be a solid signing after helping Sheffield United to promotion from the Championship last season.
3. Jed Steer
Steer is an option for Leeds to replace Robles after leaving Villa after around a decade at the club.
4. Asmir Begovic
Begovic is available after leaving Everton, and the experienced keeper is sure to be snapped up by someone.
5. Paul Dummett
Dummett may sign a deal to stay on as a Newcastle back-up. Could he be swayed by the promise of a starting role a tier lower?
6. Nampalys Mendy
Mendy would be an ambitious signing given his quality, and he is likely to have offers abroad, but he is available for now.
