It was a summer to remember at Elland Road, for all the wrong reasons to begin with: relegation and a subsequent player exodus left plenty of work to be done for incoming ownership group 49ers Enterprises.
Nine new arrivals, in addition to the appointment of Daniel Farke as manager, have somewhat turned the tide on the narrative of the summer 2023 transfer window, but it’s certainly one for the books.
Here is how every senior player who departed Elland Road this summer, either on a permanent transfer or on loan, is getting on at their new clubs.
1. Brenden Aaronson
Currently on loan at Bundesliga club 1.FC Union Berlin, Brenden Aaronson will play UEFA Champions League football this season after the German side were drawn in a group with Arsenal, Sevilla and RC Lens. The US international was sent off in just his third outing for the Berlin club, however, seeing red after 21 minutes - and two yellow cards - during Union's defeat of Darmstadt last month.

4. Max Wober
Defender Max Wober joined Borussia Monchengladbach on loan this summer and has already gone toe-to-toe with Harry Kane and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The Austrian has played four times, winning just once in the First Round of the DFB-Pokal against lower league opposition. In the league, he has participated in a 4-4 draw with Ausgburg, as well as defeats by Leverkusen and Bayern. (Photo by UWE KRAFT/AFP via Getty Images) Photo: UWE KRAFT
5. Marc Roca
Roca's move to Real Betis on loan is understood to include an option for the Spanish club to extend his loan stay by an additional year. He is more than likely to remain in Sevilla until the end of the 2024/25 season. He has started each of Betis' four LaLiga fixtures so far.

6. Diego Llorente
Spanish defender Diego Llorente returned to Rome on a season-long loan deal this summer, rejoining coach Jose Mourinho in the Italian capital. Despite healthy competition for places at centre-half, Llorente has started each of Roma's opening three Serie A fixtures - although Mourinho's men are yet to taste victory in 2023/24.
