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.

8. Ilia Gruev
Reportedly attracted interest from Borussia Dortmund, but silence in recent weeks would suggest there has been little progress, with Dortmund thought to be eyeing Brighton's Pascal Groß. Leeds see the Bulgarian as part of their plans next season and are not looking to sell. | Getty Images
9. Wilfried Gnonto
The winger has been linked with a return to Italy but recent reports suggest Gnonto is wanted by Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Everton again. Leeds not actively looking to sell anyone this summer and could keep Gnonto, but decisions will be taken on an individual basis if an appropriate offer is submitted. One to keep an eye on between now and August 30. | Getty Images

Harrison has re-joined Everton on loan for a second season. The deal doesn't involve a purchase agreement but the winger will hope to do enough to seal a permanent move to Merseyside. | Getty Images
