Leeds United experienced a hectic summer transfer window as the Elland Road hierarchy looked to boost Daniel Farke’s squad in preparation for their return to the Premier League.
Despite claiming the Championship title on the final day of a long and draining campaign, there was always going to be a need to add to the Whites ranks as they prepared to take on the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City upon their return to the top flight.
Around £100m was spent on ten new signings as the likes of Sean Longstaff, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor all arrived at Elland Road - but there were some high profile targets that either remained with their current clubs or moved elsewhere.
But how are they faring during the first half of the season?
