Leeds United are heading into another important summer as they look to build on their impressive Premier League return. Daniel Farke’s side were comfortably safe in the end, their 47 points enough for a 14th-placed finish despite losing 3-0 at relegated West Ham on the final day.
Last year’s recruitment proved incredibly successful but 49ers Enterprises will need to invest again, if Leeds are to continue improving. An end-of-season injury crisis highlighted just how quickly things can change as the lack of depth in Farke’s squad became apparent when key players were missing.
Alongside first-team ceiling-raisers, Leeds will look to build Farke’s squad this summer in a bid to avoid similar issues cropping up at a more inconvenient point of the season. Below, the YEP takes a look at the current depth to identify some potential weak points.
