Leeds United had a nightmarish end to the summer transfer window. Daniel Farke insisted on bringing attacking reinforcements into his team towards the final days of the window, but the Whites failed to add to their squad on transfer deadline day.
The Whites ended the summer transfer window scrambling for options and ultimately failing to add to their attack on the final day. They made a late move for Harry Wilson, but Fulham changed their mind at the last minute, which left Leeds empty-handed and little time to do anything else.

Leeds United target Aleksandar Mitrovic is yet to make a transfer decision
Aleksandar Mitrovic is not part of Al-Hilal’s plans, and the club have been trying to offload him all summer.
The Saudi Arabian transfer window will remain open until September 11th, and he could move within the Saudi Pro League for a transfer fee.
However, the forward is believed to be keen to return to European football, and Leeds are among the clubs who are interested in signing him.
According to Serbian outlet CDM, the striker has not made the final decision on whether to return to Europe or continue playing in Saudi Arabia.
A return to England or Europe would only be possible if Al-Hilal agreed to terminate his contract and release him as a free agent, with the transfer window already closed across all major European leagues.
Leeds could have a golden opportunity to land Mitrovic on a free transfer if he’s willing to accept a significant pay cut to reignite his Premier League career.
