Leeds United have made their triumphant return to the Premier League with supporters eagerly-anticipating the start of the new season - which is around the corner now that fixtures have been released.
The Whites dominated the EFL Championship in the 2024/2025 season, alongside Burnley, amassing a remarkable 100 points over 46 fixtures. It's been an incredible journey for Daniel Farke's squad who have earned a well-earned spot in English football's top-flight.
Their first contest back will be against Everton at Elland Road on August 18. Focus has now shifted towards the summer transfer window with Udinese's Jaka Bijo reportedly set to join. Below are some of the latest headlines surrounding the Whites, along with our view on each one;
Double transfer claim
Leeds are reportedly weighing up transfer options from both Aston Villa and Wolves as they aim to solve the left-back conundrum ahead of the new season.
The Express report that Leeds are expected to test Wolves' resolve with a move to sign Hugo Bueno. Birmingham World, meanwhile, claim that Villa's Alex Moreno remains on the radar of Leeds.
LeedsLive says: "Leeds need more Premier League experience in their side and either one of these players would certainly provide that. Of the two players, Moreno is probably the better option and is more similar to what Junior Firpo has offered the Whites."
New goalkeeper stance
Iconic commentator Ian Darke reckons that Leeds may have unearthed a diamond amid transfer links with Angers shot-stopper Yahia Fofana. He believes the keeper could have a similar impact to the legendary Petr Cech.
"He was regular goalkeeper for Angers last season in France and at that kind of price, they have obviously scouted him, and they like the look of him," he told MOT Leeds News.
"There's a bit of a history of goalkeepers coming from France and doing pretty well, leading that list would be Petr Cech, who came from Rennes to Chelsea.
"Nobody had heard of him - and he proved to be superb - among the top goalkeepers ever in the Premier League. They will be hoping that they have unearthed a little gem like that.
"Developments last season with Meslier and Darlow, at the end, they will be on the lookout for a new goalkeeper, maybe this is the guy."
LeedsLive says:"Leeds need a new goalkeeper and, If Fofana turns out to be half as good as Cech, then they'll have some player on their hands."
