The Whites and the Clarets have both made at least one, or in Burnley’s case two, big-money signings ahead of the season opener this weekend.
Leeds take on Portsmouth with a largely settled squad, featuring the permanent addition of Joe Rodon as well as loanee Joe Rothwell and ex-Sheffield United full-back Jayden Bogle.
Burnley, meanwhile, have triggered permanent moves for a couple of players following their relegation from the Premier League, which has somewhat affected their ability to spend further in the market.
Here is a breakdown of every incoming Championship transfer costing £2 million or above so far this summer.
