Despite all the external noise and speculation, the summer transfer window has been a quiet one for Leeds United so far. The Whites have released a number of players, but Jack Harrison’s loan move to Everton earlier this week was the first actual piece of business done by the club.
Things are set to gather pace though as the weeks tick by, with Leeds keen to add to Daniel Farke’s squad in their push to secure promotion at the second time of asking. United have seen a number of players linked away, too, and they’ll be braced for interest to emerge in some of their brightest and biggest stars.
As July approaches, we take a look at the latest on every single Leeds United transfer story this summer.
7. Jamie Shackleton
As with Cooper, talks over a new contract are underway but if Shackleton wants to play football then a move away would be the only avenue to that. According to The Star, Sheffield United are monitoring his contract situation. | Getty Images
8. Joe Rodon
Returned to parent club Tottenham and saw a 12-month contract extension activated. Spurs expected to sell this summer, with recent reports suggesting they have dropped their asking price to £10m. Leeds would be keen for a permanent return to Elland Road but face competition from the three promoted sides. | Getty Images
9. Connor Roberts
Impact on loan was hampered by injury but Leeds are reportedly open to a permanent return for Roberts. Remains to be seen whether Burnley would be willing to do business with a Championship promotion rival, however. | Getty Images
10. Ilia Gruev
Has reportedly attracted interest from several Bundesliga clubs, including Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund. Silence in the weeks since those reports would suggest there has been little progress. | Getty Images
11. Wilfried Gnonto
Would be tipped by many as one of the most likely to leave, given previous interest from Premier League outfit Everton. 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. | Getty Images
12. Crysencio Summerville
The dominant transfer story in West Yorkshire. Dutchman widely expected to move on this summer, with Brighton most recently emerging as front-runners ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea after making contact over a potential move. The YEP understands competition, plus the recent Red Bull investment, has put the club in a strong position to ensure any deal is done on their terms. Valuations have ranged between £30-40m. | Getty Images
