Leeds United have some big decisions to make over the course of the next couple of weeks as the club come under pressure to add more fresh faces to their squad. Daniel Farke wants a few more attacking additions before the transfer window closes on September 1st.
The Leeds manager has been honest about what his squad need ahead of their Premier League opener against Everton on Monday night. He doesn’t believe the current set of players can cope with the demands of a top-flight campaign without additions to their forward line before the end of the window.

Farke has indicated that he considers Lukas Nmecha as a backup option in the squad, and wants a new striker who can lead the line for the club next season. The German also wants to bring in a winger and a versatile attacking midfielder to improve the creativity in the starting eleven.
However, a few Leeds players are also looking to leave the club, and the Whites want to bring in replacements before sanctioning one of their departures before the end of the window.

Werder Bremen are growing impatient with Leeds United stalling on Isaac Schmidt’s departure
Isaac Schmidt has been heavily involved in Leeds’ pre-season games and could even start against Everton if Jayden Bogle doesn’t recover.
However, he wants to leave the Whites this summer and has an agreement in place to join Werder Bremen on loan in the ongoing transfer window.
The German club have been optimistic about striking an agreement with Leeds, who are also prepared to let the player go, provided they sign a replacement.
However, Leeds are yet to sign a full-back, and according to Deich Tube, the German club’s patience is rapidly running out.
Werder Bremen are looking to bring in players for their attack and defence in the next couple of weeks, and Schmidt is one of their top targets.
They are prepared to sign him on loan with an option to buy, but Leeds are stalling on the final negotiations as they are yet to sign a replacement.
The German club are fuming about not getting a straight answer on Schmidt yet, and want Leeds to decide on the Swiss international soon.
Werder Bremen are ready to consider alternative targets if they do not get a positive response from Leeds in the coming days.
