After escaping relegation on the final day of last season, Leed United’s main aim over the summer will be to build a side capable of climbing back up the Premier League table next term.
For Jesse Marsch, this will be a first chance to properly stamp his own image on the dressing room at Elland Road, and the Whites have wasted little time in getting the ball rolling on their summer transfer activity, wrapping up an impressive deal for USA international Brenden Aaronson.
But with so many rumours doing the rounds at the moment, it can be hard to keep track of who the Whites have actually been linked with.
With that in mind, we’ve taken a look at how Leeds could line up next season, if some of the latest and most prominent pieces of transfer speculation came to fruition.
This is how an intriguing Whites side could line up next season, if the transfer talk can be believed:
