Leeds United have enjoyed a productive start to the summer transfer window with three players through the door ahead of their Premier League return. Free agent striker Lukas Nmecha was followed by defensive pair Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw, who cost a combined £20million, and plenty more are expected to follow.
With Daniel Farke set to welcome back a core of first-team players for pre-season next week, recruitment chiefs continue to work identifying and approaching potential targets. Leeds are expected to strengthen across the board with an evident focus on top-flight experience and physicality.
Transfer activity is only likely to intensify as the weeks pass but already, Leeds have been linked with a huge number of players - some of which have proven to be more true than others. Below, the YEP has rounded up the latest information on the likes of Anton Stach, Lucas Perri and Rodrigo Muniz.
