Leeds United have a huge clash with Arsenal this weekend as they hope to continue their great start to the Premier League season. But the club is still working behind the scenes to conclude some deals before the window closes.
Daniel Farke has already revealed that the club are trying to get some deals across the line this week. It is possible that a fullback, an attacking midfielder and another forward could be arriving at Elland Road soon.

”We’re quite open and honest about this. I don’t speak about names and any rumours but we have spoken about the full-back position. We might need an addition. We’ve also spoken before the two signings that we would strengthen our offence. Let’s see if we do add even more to the offence, one or two more signings would be beneficial.”

Three players Leeds United could sign this week
The main focus is likely to add more firepower to the attack, while finding a backup for Jayden Bogle. The right back currently does not have cover, and with how important he is to the team, Leeds need a competent option to back him up.
We take a look at which players could be joining the Whites this week.

The Bournemouth man seems to be the latest target for Daniel Farke after James Justin picked up a knock this past week. Hill is a versatile defender who can play at center back or right back. He also has decent pedigree, having featured for England’s U21 side. The Cherries are reluctant to sell, but with just one year left on his contract, Leeds could force their hand this week.

A surprise addition to the club’s shortlist. According to reports, he could very well end up at Elland Road this week. The Brighton star has been told he can leave this month, and has already been linked with top clubs. Many possible moves have collapsed, and Leeds United could take advantage of that and swoop in to sign him.

The Bosnian could be the final piece of the puzzle for Daniel Farke. Leeds have internally discussed adding another forward, and the Stuttgart man could fit the bill. The transfer fee would be a bit high, but adding one of Europe’s top marksmen would be worth it.
