Leeds United have their transfer train in full motion as they prepare to build a squad that can survive in the Premier League.
Daniel Farke is set to take pre-season training at Thorp Arch in just a couple of weeks, and there will be some new faces.
Leeds have already signed Lukas Nmecha from VfL Wolfsburg on a free transfer, with the forward penning a two-year contract.
Now, the Peacocks are primed to make their second signing of the window, with a final agreement close.

The Elland Road outfit have a clear strategy and are targeting players with Premier League experience as well as talent from abroad. Newcastle United trio Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, and Matt Targett have all been linked with a move to Yorkshire.
Elsewhere, Leeds are pushing to sign Jaka Bijol, who is set to join the Whites on a permanent deal from Udinese.
Indeed, the Slovenian is close to completing his move to Elland Road, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post (19 June).
They state that the 26-year-old underwent a medical at Thorp Arch on Wednesday (18 June) as the Whites and Udinese “drew closer to a final agreement.”

Bijol to add steel to Farke’s defence
Bijol’s statistics explain exactly why Leeds have been chasing him this summer.
Farke will need players with fight ahead of a tough campaign, and the centre-back has shown that in abundance for Udinese. His ground and aerial duels percentages are high, and it seems the defender could be a perfect fit for a Premier League club.
Of course, if he is to start, then one of Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu, and Pascal Struijk will likely have to make way.
