There are still another six weeks until Leeds United’s Premier League return begins - but the club’s likely best XI and bench already has a completely different look to it.
Key men departures from last season’s promotion-winning team had already been confirmed with loanees Manor Solomon and Joe Rothwell returning to their parent clubs.
Rothwell, who returned to Bournemouth, has since signed for Rangers whilst Solomon is expected to be handed a new chance at Tottenham by new boss Thomas Frank.
But Leeds announced news of another key man exit earlier this week as the club confirmed that first choice left back Junior Firpo would be leaving the club upon his contract expiring this summer.
Three key men gone but three new signings are already through the door in the shape of German international striker Lukas Nmecha, Slovenian international centre-back Jaka Bijol and the most recent addition of Belgian international Sebastiaan Bornauw.
The summer transfer window is still in its infancy - not closing until Monday, September 1 - yet there have already been big changes on the Leeds front and this is our idea of the new strongest XI and bench as it stands.

2. RB: Jayden Bogle
New arrival Sebastiaan Bornauw is a right-footed centre back who can play as a right back but Bogle appears pretty nailed as first choice in that position after a very impressive first season with the Whites. | Getty Images
3. CB: Joe Rodon
A rock at the back and likely just a case of who partners him despite the arrivals of fellow centre-backs Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw. | Getty Images
4. CB: Jaka Bijol
Like all new signings, Bijol will need time to settle but it would seem likely that the towering Slovenian international would become one of United's first choice centre-backs although there is now huge strength in depth with Sebastiaan Bornauw and Struijk firmly in contention too. | LUFC
5. LB: Isaac Schmidt
Lille's Sweden international star Gabriel Gudmundsson will come straight in as first choice left back if and when signing - as expected - replacing the outgoing Junior Firpo. But with Firpo and now Wober both gone, versatile Swiss international Isaac Schmidt probably just about gets the nod over San Byram although Pascal Struijk has played in the position too. | Getty Images
6. CM: Ethan Ampadu
