Leeds United have enjoyed a productive start to the summer transfer window with three players through the door ahead of their Premier League return. Free agent striker Lukas Nmecha was followed by defensive pair Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw, who cost a combined £20million, and plenty more are expected to follow.
With Daniel Farke set to welcome back a core of first-team players for pre-season next week, recruitment chiefs continue to work identifying and approaching potential targets. Leeds are expected to strengthen across the board with an evident focus on top-flight experience and physicality.
Transfer activity is only likely to intensify as the weeks pass but already, Leeds have been linked with a huge number of players - some of which have proven to be more true than others. Below, the YEP has rounded up the latest information on the likes of Anton Stach, Lucas Perri and Rodrigo Muniz.
1. Illan Meslier
The YEP reported earlier this summer that interest in the French goalkeeper was starting to ramp up, albeit no firm offers are thought to have been received yet.

2. Junior Firpo
The defender's exit was officially confirmed in early July and he has since signed a three-year deal at Real Betis. The YEP understands an offer from Leeds is on the table which represented a pay rise on his Championship wage but a reduction on what he earned when arriving from Barcelona. | Getty Images
3. Max Wober
Told Austrian media during the June international break that Leeds want to sell him and has since joined Werder Bremen on loan. Decision came with Leeds unlikely to break even on his roughly £5m book value, which would mean a PSR loss. | Getty Images
4. Isaac Schmidt
Joined Werder Bremen on loan for the campaign having played just over an hour of Championship football last season. The Bundesliga side have an option to buy for around £3.5m. | George Wood/Getty Images Photo: George Wood/Getty Images
5. Darko Gyabi
Impressed on loan at Plymouth Argyle but is could be sold, with Leeds hoping to raise funds by trimming the fat of their squad. The YEP understands Leeds hope to get between £3-4m for the midfielder. | Getty Images
6. Sam Greenwood
Joined Polish outfit Pogoń Szczecin for around £3.4m last week, a record transfer for the country's top-flight. | Getty Images
