The Whites could also be set to rebuff offers for some of their star players, as their top tier rivals continue to monitor a number of Leeds' top talents.
After today, thoughts will turn to next week when the Premier League makes its return, and Leeds travel to take on Aston Villa in what should be an entertaining Wednesday night clash.
Meanwhile, Leeds defender Robin Koch has been discussing his struggles with injury since joining the club, and revealed: “I couldn't play for a long time and couldn't train with the team.
“We tried it first for six weeks without surgery, and tried again and again. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better, which got frustrating over time. It was then the right decision to have the operation performed by an absolute specialist in the USA. We met her together with the doctors from Leeds United and the medical team from the Germany national team.
“I started rehab as soon as possible and worked hard almost every day. I also had a little more time to read and was able to distract myself so well. I've read Kobe Bryant's biography and Winning, the book by Tim S. Grover, Bryant's and Michael Jordan's fitness coach. How the guys were mentally positioned is both impressive and inspiring at the same time.”
Take a look at the latest stories from the Premier League, as Leeds United gear up for what could be a hectic deadline day:
