Leeds United experienced a hectic summer transfer window as the Elland Road hierarchy authorised a spend of around £100 million to boost Daniel Farke’s promotion winning squad.
With the Whites preparing to return to the Premier League following last season’s Championship title win, the Whites completed ten new signings during the summer as the likes of Sean Longstaff, Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all agreed to moves to Elland Road.

But how have they fared so far this season? We take a look at ten reported Whites summer targets and assess their performances during the opening months of the season.
