Transfer activity at Leeds United has really kicked up a notch over the past week or so as preparations continue ahead of the 2024/25 season. Daniel Farke’s squad are back at Thorp Arch building their fitness but those behind the scenes are hard at work ensuring the squad is in good shape going into next month’s Championship opener at home to Portsmouth.
After a relatively slow start to the window, with much of the early focus on outgoings, Leeds have welcomed a trio of experienced options to West Yorkshire in the form of Joe Rodon, Alex Cairns and Joe Rothwell. But there are still a number of gaps that need filling and outside interest in some of the current crop will intensify as the August 30 deadline closes in.
Below, the YEP has rounded up the latest news on just about every transfer story surrounding Leeds at the moment. As ever, it is all subject to change.
