Leeds United are in the thick of it ahead of the new Premier League season.
With the Premier League fixtures now revealed, the only thing Leeds have to attend to is recruitment until pre-season gets underway.
Following the signing of Lukas Nmecha, there has been little transfer activity at Elland Road, though that is almost certain to change in the coming weeks.
Despite the lack of movement, several players have been linked with moves, as MOT Leeds News rounds up the latest updates surrounding the Whites.

Daniel Farke striker hunt goes on amid Nikola Krstovic update
Leeds will make no secret of the fact that they want to sign a new striker ahead of their Premier League return, with recent reports suggesting that they had tabled a “significant” offer for Lecce forward Nikola Krstovic.

The Montenegrin international had a solid campaign in Italy, but an update recently emerged stating that the Whites are yet to hold talks with Krstovic, with any rumours of a deal wide of the mark.
Roma have also expressed an interest in the forward this summer, who looks all but nailed on to leave for a fee around £25million.

49ers risk huge transfer error amid Joe Gomez update
While the signing of a striker will almost certainly be the priority for Leeds, Farke will be looking to bolster his squad wherever possible to give themselves the best chance of survival.
One of those areas which is strong, but could certainly be improved, is the defensive lineup at Leeds, who are said to have identified Joe Gomez as a potential target.
On the face of it, it seems like a smart move, though Gomez’s injury record at Liverpool is a tough read, and if the 49ers were to push ahead with a deal, they would be running the risk of ridicule at Leeds United.
The Reds are said to be willing to sanction his exit, though a fee of around £30million has been mooted for the Englishman.

Manor Solomon set for Thomas Frank talks
Leeds’ promotion season saw several stars shine, though perhaps very few as much as Manor Solomon in the Championship.
His goals and assists aided the Whites in their title-winning campaign, though his future at Tottenham remains up in the air.
Ian Darke, when speaking to MOT Leeds News, speculated that the winger could hold talks with Thomas Frank over his future at Spurs, with a move potentially on hold.
He said: “*All the plates are up in the sky again, with Frank coming in. He will be sitting down as we speak, asking ‘who have we got here, who went out on loan, do we want to keep him?*‘
*“He may have a different view. He may be a player he thinks he wants to use; they will ascertain fairly quickly, Leeds, what the state of play is with Frank and his team.*“
