Leeds United look set for an incredibly busy end to the summer transfer window as recruitment chiefs face the unenviable task of replacing last season’s stars. First-team regulars Archie Gray, Glen Kamara, Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter have found top-flight football elsewhere, with adequate successors not yet found for any.
Daniel Farke has regularly stated the need for at least four signings, with two attackers, a central midfielder and cover at full-back on the summer shopping list. And with just over one week until the transfer window closes, speculation is intensifying around Elland Road.
There has been plenty to digest in recent weeks and so the YEP has rounded up all of the latest links, offering the latest information on each. Take a look below...

1. Max Wober
Remains on the radar of loan club Borussia Monchengladbach, with recent reports suggesting they could make a late permanent move. Leeds planning to keep Austrian, however, but one to keep an eye on come deadline day. | Getty Images
2. Wilfried Gnonto
Leeds rejected a £23m bid from Everton earlier this summer and noise around the winger has been minimal since. Looks happy at Elland Road and set for a major role in the promotion push. | Getty Images
3. Oliver Skipp
The Athletic named Skipp as a possible target early in the summer but always seemed a little out of reach. Has since joined Leicester City permanently for a fee over £20m. | Getty Images

4. Bashir Humphreys
Linked with Leeds earlier this summer and while the YEP understands he was liked by recruitment chiefs, more natural full-back cover was the defensive priority. Has since joined Championship rivals Burnley on a season-long loan with the option to buy for a fee believed to be close to £15m. | Getty Images

5. Jonathan Rowe
Had been of genuine interest to Leeds since Summerville's move to West Ham, but talks went quiet once Marseille stepped up their pursuit and he has since joined the French side. | Getty Images
6. Manuel Benson
The YEP understands interest in Benson was genuine, with the Angolan international expected to leave Burnley before tomorrow's deadline. Leeds do look to have moved on, however, with Ramazani and Solomon adequately stocking the wide positions. | Getty Images
