All eyes will be on Elland Road on Sunday afternoon when Leeds United get their Championship season underway with a home game against Cardiff City.

It has been a summer of change on and off the pitch for the Whites with new owners in place and former Norwich City manager Daniel Farke installed as permanent successor to interim boss Sam Allardyce in the first major appointment under the ne regime.

Farke has wasted little time in adding to the squad he inherited after completing moves for Chelsea centre-back Ethan Ampadu and Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow. A whole host of players have made their way through the exit door with the likes of Rodrigo, Tyler Roberts, Brenden Aaronson and Robin Koch all heading for pastures new.

Despite the primary focus being Sunday’s season-opener, Farke is still keen to add to his squad as he looks to piece together a side capable to making an immediate return to the Premier League. But who could join the Whites over the next month and which players probably will not? The Evening Post takes a look at some options.
