Leeds didn’t make many permanent sales during the summer transfer window.
Only Rasmus Kristensen and Sam Greenwood were sold for fees, with the latter moving to Pogon Szczecin in a £3.5m deal while the Dane joined Eintracht Frankfurt for £7.7m after spending last season on loan with the German side.
Kristensen is enjoying himself in Frankfurt – although Greenwood is still waiting for his career in Poland to truly take off after departing Leeds.

Pogon Szczecin smashed their transfer record to sign the 23-year-old back in August, a deal which saw Leeds make a £2m profit, having spent £1.5m to take him from Arsenal in August 2020.
It was something of a welcome surprise for Leeds, considering Greenwood had failed to convince either Middlesbrough or Preston to sign him permanently across a spell on loan with each Championship side in the 2023/24 and 2024/25 campaigns respectively.
However, Pogon Szczecin are still waiting for a return on their investment.

Greenwood – who recently faced Mateusz Klich in Poland – has failed to score in seven Ekstraklasa appearances for his new side, although he does have two assists to show for his efforts.
The Pogon Szczecin No.90 actually helped inflict a 2-1 defeat on Klich and Cracovia with his latest assist, setting up Kamil Grosicki for the winner.

Leeds will hope Sam Greenwood improves amid significant sell-on clause
That £3.5m sale currently looks a shrewd one from Leeds, although those at Elland Road will want Greenwood to become a success in Poland, and not just on a human level.
Leeds negotiated a 20% sell-on clause in the deal, entitling them to a fair chunk of the profits should the England U21 international make a lucrative transfer before his three-year contract ends.
There is still plenty of time for that to happen, although Greenwood will undoubtedly have hoped for a better start to life in Poland.
