Leeds United are expected to advance deals for several players in the coming weeks.
Daniel Farke is hoping to refresh his squad this summer, in the build-up to the Whites’ return to the Premier League.
Jaka Bijol, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sebastian Bornauw and Lukas Nmecha have already arrived at Elland Road, and further incomings are expected imminently.
Here, MOT Leeds News rounds up the latest transfer stories.

Wober exit questioned
Max Wober has completed a loan move to Bundesliga club Werder Bremen, with Leeds confirming the move last week.
MORE LEEDS STORIES
But the West Yorkshire club’s decision to loan, rather than sell, Wober, who spent the majority of last season sidelined through injury, has been questioned by BBC Sport journalist Adam Pope.
Speaking on the BBC Sport West Yorkshire podcast Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet (July 10), Pope said: “The big question for many, is why haven’t they sold him and just got him off the books.”
Wilson likely to turn down Leeds advances
Leeds have eyed a potential move for Callum Wilson this summer, after the striker’s contract at Newcastle expired.
The 33-year-old spent a lot of last season on the injury table and the time he did not, was spent playing second-fiddle to the club’s star striker Alexander Isak – an experience he does not want to replicate, he told The i Paper (July 11).
“When you come on as a sub, it’s so hard to catch a second wind, and before you know it, the game is over. That was the only thing for me. I still feel I can offer so much,” Wilson told i newspaper on his future post-Newcastle.
Wilson’s comments may rule out a move to Leeds, who would likely ask the Englishman to play a similar role.

49ers could advance on Stach move
Leeds’ interest in Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach is well documented, but a bid for the German is yet to arrive.
However, that could change very quickly.
Joe Donnohue told the Inside Elland Road Podcast (July 10): “The Stach situation, I mean, it’s gone a little bit quiet. But quiet doesn’t necessarily mean that things are done. Leeds still hold an interest in him.”
“Certainly, the interest is there. And, certainly, there is interest in Stach from other teams as well, which is going to be a common theme of this summer.”
Leeds are in need of a midfielder this summer, and the tough-tackling 26-year-old could be the ideal fit for Farke.
Leeds to miss out on Bizot
Illan Meslier’s series of high-profile mistakes last season has led Leeds to be in the market for a new goalkeeper.
Links to Lucas Perri and Djordje Petrovic have been strong, but Lyon’s successful appeal over their relegation to Ligue 2, and Bournemouth’s move for Petrovic, appear to have made those deals less likely.
And Leeds look to have missed out on another goalkeeper in Marco Bizot, after Foot Mercato (July 11) reported that the Dutchman is close to finalising a move to Aston Villa.
