Leeds United could add to their seven new arrivals this month. The summer transfer window closes at the end of August, but with the European leagues kicking off in over a week, some clubs will be in a rush to complete business.
Leeds could be one of those clubs after what Daniel Farke said this week. The club still have some areas to sort out before they are ready for next season. The Whites are looking for fullbacks, wingers, number 10s and a new striker. There could be even more added to that as Leeds expect some exits soon. The likes of Patrick Bamford, Joe Gelhardt and Mateo Joseph could leave the club.

Club have to get some signings in before Everton game
Even though the window closes at the end of the month, it is advisable that Leeds get their business done as early as possible. If the club was able to wrap up most of their business in the first week of training camp, they can make this happen.
But obviously the club cannot rush into things and make panic signings.
