The new Championship season is edging ever closer and Leeds United’s preparations are well underway. The Whites had a strong run out on Friday night against Harrogate Town and they will travel to Germany this weekend to begin a pre-season training camp.
With three weeks still to go until Portsmouth travel to Elland Road for the opening game of the campaign, there’s still plenty of time for Leeds to do their business in the transfer market and make new addition before the action gets underway. However, as Leeds have made fourth summer signing in the form of Jayden Bogle, we’ve taken a look at how Leeds could line-up as it stands against Pompey at Elland Road on August 10.
7. CM: Joe Rothwell
Won promotion with Southampton last season and he'll be determined to repeat the feat with Leeds this time around. He looks set to be Ampadu's partner in the middle of the field. | Getty Images
8. RM: Wilfried Gnonto
He's been linked with a move to Everton once more, but Farke will be reluctant to lose the Italy international, with the club set to make a big push for promotion at the second time of asking. | Getty Images
9. CAM: Georginio Rutter
Leeds have been forced to reject a bid for Rutter this summer and Farke will be hoping to see the Frenchman kick on again this season. | Getty Images
10. LM: Crysencio Summerville
Summerville has been strongly linked away from Leeds for some time, but he hasn't gone anywhere yet and Farke will have high hopes that the Dutchman can feature on his left flank once more this season. | Getty Images
11. ST: Joel Piroe
Patrick Bamford had surgery on a knee issue over the off-season, which has delayed his start to pre-season training. As such, it seems Piroe could be the man given the nod from the start of the campaign against Portsmouth. | Getty Images
