A second big summer Leeds United exit has been announced - changing the club’s likely best XI and bench which in turn is heading for another major alteration.
United’s first big summer departure was announced early last week with first choice left back Junior Firpo leaving upon his contract expiring and Austrian international Max Wober has now followed Firpo out of the door.
Wober has joined Bundesliga side Werder Bremen on a season-long loan but the German side have an option to buy the defender as part of the deal.
With Firpo gone, it could have been argued that left back Wober would have made United’s current first choice XI.
But a new man now looks set to be added to Daniel Farke’s starting line up with Leeds close to securing Lille’s Sweden international left back star Gabriel Gudmundsson as the club’s fourth signing of the summer.
Gudmundsson would go straight into the first choice left back slot but he’s not yet a Whites player and this is our idea of the current strongest Leeds XI and bench - as things stand - including a big Jack Harrison decision.

19. Sub: Lukas Nmecha
A player capped nine times for Germany and who bagged 21 goals in 41 games for Anderlecht will clearly have designs on being first choice striker but it will probably be the bench to start with for the Whites new boy although that could quickly change. Can also seemingly play in a variety of positions across the front line so options. | LUFC
20. Sub: Patrick Bamford
Another of the striker options probably on the bench as things stand although Bamford has already said he is backing himself to be main no 9 again. No Mateo Joseph or young Harry Gray in the matchday squad then unless Leeds go with three strikers on the bench or Harrison doesn't make it. | Getty Images
