Leeds United could complete a few deals before the end of the week, as they look to wrap up their transfer business before the window closes. On the pitch, the club have started their season very well.
Leeds beat Everton at home in their first game of the season. The Whites made history, becoming the first Championship title holder in the last 17 years to win their Premier League opener. And they did it in style; completely dominating David Moyes’ side. Leeds should have won by a bigger scoreline, but their finishing let them down. It took a late penalty from Lukas Nmecha to seal all three points.

Bad news for Largie Ramazani
There were reports that one of the wingers at the club could make way if a new signing arrived. And looking at it closely, Largie Ramazani looks like the most obvious option to leave the club. He has not proven himself like Wilfried Gnonto or Dan James, and had very limited game time last season.
If a deal is completed this week, then the Belgian could be moved out to balance the numbers in the squad.
