The summer transfer window is still a couple of weeks from opening but business is getting underway up and down the country, with Leeds United set for a busy and exciting few months. Daniel Farke will lead their Premier League return and the expectation is he will be financially backed, with reports suggesting a transfer war chest of more than £100million could be available.
Reinforcements will be needed across the board but priority will likely be given to top-class additions in goal, central defence, midfield and upfront. And as early plans are put in place by Elland Road recruitment chiefs, reports are really starting to gather pace surrounding incomings and possible outgoings.
There appears to be a new transfer link every other day and so to keep you in the loop on all the latest surrounding Leeds United’s summer plans, the YEP has rounded up all the key reports below. Take a look to see how things are going at this early point of the summer.
7. Manor Solomon
Leeds confirmed in early July that Solomon would return to parent club Tottenham Hotspur, where for a while he looked set to remain. Recent reports suggest he could now leave and wide reinforcements remain a priority at Elland Road, although no fresh links have emerged. | Getty Images
8. Jack Harrison
Looks set to remain a Leeds player for the upcoming season, with no links to any kind of exit before Monday's deadline. Farke labelled the winger 'pretty important to our group' earlier this week and said he didn't expect a move away. | Getty Images
9. Joe Gelhardt
Another who Leeds had hoped to get between £3-4m for but he has since joined Hull City on loan. Thought to have made clear his desire to return to the MKM Stadium where he played regularly during the second-half of last season. | Getty Images
10. Largie Ramazani
The Athletic reported earlier this summer the winger had rejected approaches from a number of European clubs, but this week he joined Valencia on loan. The deal is a straight loan with no permanent option.

11. Mateo Joseph
Daniel Farke revealed while in Germany that Joseph has asked to leave, with the striker not going Germany against his manager's recommendation. Has since joined RCD Mallorca on loan, with Leeds unwilling to include any kind of permanent option. | Gary Oakley/PA Wire
12. Patrick Bamford
Left out of Leeds' pre-season tour squad and Farke revealed following the draw against Manchester United he's informed Bamford he's not in next season's plans. Leeds confirmed earlier this week a mutual agreement to cut the 31-year-old's contract short and he has now officially left. | Ryan Hiscott/Getty Images Photo: Ryan Hiscott/Getty Images
