Leeds United have signed Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol already this summer transfer window for Daniel Farke.
The Udinese defender’s move to Elland Road has been officially announced, with the Whites paying £15million for his signature.
Nmecha’s contract at Wolfsburg expires at the end of June, and his switch to the West Yorkshire outfit will be officially completed soon.
The Peacocks’ supporters will hope for other additions to be made soon, but they could have to wait for more deals to be announced in LS11.

The news outlet reports (25 June) that the West Yorkshire outfit will turn their attention to bringing in new players after Bijol’s announcement, but a new addition at Elland Road isn’t imminent.

2. Burnley 46 100 53

It’s been claimed that a bulk of the Peacocks’ incoming transfers are expected to arrive from July.
At the moment, Farke is set to face Manchester United in the first competitive friendly of the new season on 19 July in Sweden, and Farke will arguably want a bulk of the new players to join training before then.

Farke working with Adam Underwood on new transfers at Leeds
Farke plays a major role in Leeds’ transfer business, with the German manager having in-depth conversations with players before they’re signed.
Adam Underwood presents the agents of prospective signings with the project at the West Yorkshire outfit, and they proceed to have a conversation with the ex-Norwich City boss.
The 48-year-old head coach is brutally honest about a new player’s potential role at Elland Road, and if they’re happy with it, the transfer moves forward.
Leeds are currently linked with several players, but departures will likely be on the horizon as well.
Ilan Meslier’s future at Elland Road remains uncertain, and it is unclear whether he will secure a move elsewhere in the coming weeks.
The Whites could also lose some of their influential stars, with Everton keeping tabs on Dan James, whose current contract expires in 2026.
Farke will hope to keep his best players and add more quality on top of that as the West Yorkshire outfit look to avoid immediate relegation from the Premier League.
The Elland Road faithful are eagerly anticipating new signings in LS11, and it remains to be seen who the Peacocks end up bringing in this summer.
