Leeds United transfer news: former Leeds target ‘agrees’ £38m Wolves move, Man Utd ‘weighing up’ move fore Leicester City forward

It’s been a busy summer transfer window for Leeds United, who are expected to continue making moves with just over two weeks remaining before deadline day.

The Whites have started the Premier League season with a win over Wolves and draw at Southampton and face Chelsea in their next match on Sunday.

United have splashed the cash this window on players like Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra while Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha have made high profile moves away from Elland Road.

“I understand that transfers are always a lightning rod and people want to talk about this a lot,” said Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch.

“The transfers have I think got us to where we’re at, which is we made them early, we brought in players that we think fit the way we want to play and are playing quite well and at quite a high level.

“Now we’re just trying to be prudent with how we make our last decision. A striker has always been in our mind, but we’re doing it in a way that we think makes sense.

“But yes, obviously, we think that that’s something that we need to continue to evaluate on what kind of move we make.”
