For a bit of fun, we've simulated the game through to the end of next summer's transfer window, and taken a look at the intriguing signings Leeds United are predicted to make. Here's the deals FM21 is backing the Whites to make over the course of next year.
7. Tin Jedvaj - Bayer Leverkusen - Loan
Leeds clear out a whole load of deadwood within the space of the week, before embarking on quite the spending spree. The versatile Croatian is a quality defender with a mean long-throw in the locker, and joins on loan. Photo: Maja Hitij
8. Borna Barisic - Rangers - £14.25m
Title-winning sides are always vulnerable to being dismantled, and this certainly seems to be the case with Steven Gerrard's Gers. Barisic, a left-back, boasts some exceptional set-piece taking stats. Photo: Dean Mouhtaropoulos
9. Danny Ward - Leicester City - £925k
Kiko Casilla is sent off on loan to FC Midtjylland, and Leeds need some cover for the now highly-regarded Illan Meslier. Ward, formerly of Liverpool, is a safe and experienced pair of hands to do the job. Photo: Harry Trump
10. Sebastian Haller - West Ham United - £20.5m
This really is a top-heavy transfer window. Dyche, presumably now having adopted a radically different footballing philosophy, bags the Hammers striker despite his underwhelming 2020/21 season. Photo: Stephen Pond
11. Oriol Romeu - Southampton - £7m
A bit of bargain, considering he's worth double what the Whites paid for him. The ex-Barcelona prospect will add some serious grit to the Leeds midfield. Photo: CATHERINE IVILL
12. Andrew Moran - Brighton - £7m
It's an awful lot to pay for a 17-year-old, but he's been tipped as a future star. The young Irishman, who is an attacking midfielder, joins up with the development squad where he looks set to stay for a while. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
