With this being the final week of the transfer window, Leeds United have a number of deals to get across the line. Daniel Farke has already mentioned that the club are looking to make a few more additions.
A fullback, another midfielder and a forward could arrive before the window closes. But it will also be interesting to see what happens with potential departures – a number of first team players are not in Daniel Farke’s plans for this season. And that even reflected in the first matchday squad of the campaign, as Patrick Bamford and Illan Meslier were dropped.

According to reports, Meslier could be set for a move to a European club, after a number of them have shown interest in the keeper.

James Justin was left out of the Leicester City squad to face Charlton this afternoon. No explanation has been given for his absence yet, but he did pick up an injury in his last game for the club.
But recent links to Leeds United still persist. The Whites are keen on adding a fullback before the transfer window closes. Daniel Farke wants cover for Jayden Bogle, who is a big part of the team.
Leeds United focusing on James Hill
Reports from this week have also suggested that Bournemouth defender James Hill is an alternative to James Justin. A move for the former England U21 star looks plausible as he has just one year left on his contract.
When Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola was asked whether Hill would be sold to Leeds, he said that he could not ”guarantee anything”
Iraola is asked about Leeds United’s interest in James Hill. Iraola says that is news to him and he is very happy with Hill and he wants to keep him – but he adds that in the window you cannot guarantee anything, but from his side, Hill is a player that he values. #afcb
