Leeds United have been involved in three major transfer updates in the last 24 hours with a Daniel Farke wish finally being granted. The Whites have been busy strengthening their squad this summer with avoiding Premier League relegation the clear target.
Seven senior additions have been brought in over the last few months with more, particularly in attack, expected. After losing out on Igor Paixao to Marseille, Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss, former loan star Manor Solomon and Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz continue to be linked as other potential marquee signings.
A natural centre-forward coming in is likely the positional priority but it does not look set to be the latter who joins. However, free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be aiming to fill that void with an agreement reached to bring him to Leeds.
With all of that being said, LeedsLive takes a look at the latest transfer rumours from in and around Elland Road...
Solomon transfer update
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Solomon could depart Spurs in the final weeks of the window with movement starting. He has added that there is interest from La Liga and the Premier League.
LeedsLive says: Farke would undoubtedly love to bring Solomon back with the player likely keen on a return given the promotion campaign, however there appears to be plenty of competition for his signature.
Considering Tottenham's transfer business thus far, a permanent exit for Solomon looks extremely likely. If that is the route taken, Leeds may struggle to compete financially with other interested parties given what they have already spent.
Another temporary move being sanctioned will likely be the best chance Leeds have of signing him.

Muniz bid amid Calvert-Lewin agreement
During the same day that the Muniz race looked to be lost, an agreement was reached for a surprising alternative in Calvert-Lewin.
The Fulham star looked to always be the dream target but other suitors being in the race made it a hard deal to strike. One of those clubs now look to have found a breakthrough in talks, with Sky Sports reporting that a £34.5m (€40m) offer has been made by Atalanta. Talks are now said to be advancing with Muniz keen on the switch.
LeedsLive says: It is a shame that Leeds will likely lose out on signing Muniz but considering he can play Champions League football in Italy, it is perhaps no surprise he has looked elsewhere.
A Premier League proven striker could have been the difference between staying up and relegation but a fully fit Calvert-Lewin can be that. It may take some time for him to reach his best, but he is a goal-scorer and the know-how from other battles at the bottom could prove key.
It is not quite the shiny new signing many would have wanted but it will be another body in the door hopefully before the new season and if funds can THEN be used on another addition, it could turn out to be a clever deal.
