Leeds United have unveiled their travelling squad for a pre-season tour of America and games against Wrexham, Sunderland and Liverpool.

The Whites have linked up with the football promoter who put on last summer's Aviva Stadium friendly against AC Milan, for this summer's trip to the United States of America. Daniel Farke's squad will be based predominantly at Red Bull's new state-of-the-art training facility in Morristown, New Jersey and fly out to Tampa and Chicago for the games against Wrexham and Liverpool.

Leeds have confirmed the players who will be on the flight to America, and there are notable omissions. Noah Okafor's name is not on the list because Leeds have given him an extended break after being part of the Switzerland squad that reached the World Cup quarter-finals.

The quartet of Largie Ramazani, Joe Gelhardt, Max Wober or Jack Harrison are all missing from the manifest for the flight across the pond.

In Ramazani's case there is known interest from Valencia, with whom he spent last season on loan. The winger joined Leeds in August 2024 and was popular with team-mates and supporters alike, but struggled for gametime and was sent to LaLiga where he made 27 appearances with Valencia, scoring six and creating another. The 25-year-old is almost certain to leave Elland Road this summer and sources at Valencia have not ruled out the possibility of a permanent transfer. Sources close to the Spanish outfit say Ramazani is keen on the move and talks have taken place but an agreement has not yet been found.

Gelhardt also spent last season on loan, helping Hull City to earn promotion to the Premier League. It is not yet clear if a return to the Tigers is on the cards for the 24-year-old, who last played for Leeds in October 2024, but his future lies elsewhere.

Max Wober endured a torrid 2025/26 campaign through injuries that ravaged his loan spell at Werder Bremen and perhaps unsurprisingly appear to have dampened the Bundesliga side's appetite for a permanent arrangement. The Austrian international spoke recently of his hope to partake in pre-season with Leeds in their friendly fixtures but his absence from the tour party suggests he too will depart.

And club sources told the YEP in recent weeks that it would be no surprise to see Harrison, who has reportedly had talks with New England Revolution, return to the MLS. He moved away from Leeds again on loan in January to join Fiorentina but a permanent move to Serie A has not yet been forthcoming.

Leeds' squad for the US includes a mix of seniors who have already begun their pre-season, younger Under-21 players and those who will join up later in the tour after competing at the World Cup.

The full squad list is as follows: Alex Cairns, Alfie Cresswell, Anton Stach, Ao Tanaka, Brenden Aaronson, Callum Mills, Charlie Crew, Daniel James, Darryl Ombang, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ethan Ampadu, Freddie Lane, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Harry Wilson, Ilia Gruev, Jaka Bijol, James Justin, Jayden Bogle, Jayden Lienou, Joe Rodon, Joel Piroe, Lucas Perri, Lukas Nmecha, Oliver Pickles, Rhys Chadwick, Rory Mahady, Sean Longstaff, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Tarik Muharemovic, Wilfried Gnonto.

A club statement confirmed: "Noah Okafor has been given an extended break due to reaching the quarter-final of the World Cup with Switzerland, which is why he is not named in the travelling squad."

As reported by the YEP earlier today, Leeds are prepared for the possibility of new signings joining the club and completing medicals and moves either in the UK, then flying out to the States, or in America.

Leeds have also noted that shirt numbers worn by the players in pre-season will not necessarily represent the numbers they wear once the Premier League season begins.
