Leeds United sit 15th in the Premier League table, six points clear of the relegation zone, and look like a team that will survive in the top flight this season.
The Whites are quietly confident of securing safety in the Premier League this season, and plans are underway to identify targets for next summer.

Leeds are almost certain to bring in a new goalkeeper, and the club are also working on a move to make a big bid for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.
However, the Whites also want to hold on to their best players, and the club are now seemingly confident of keeping Jayden Bogle at Elland Road despite interest from Liverpool.
Liverpool are unlikely to sign Leeds United’s Jayden Bogle in the summer
Bogle’s future at Leeds came under the scanner in the winter transfer window when he was heavily linked with a move to reigning champions Liverpool.
Journalist Dave Davis has claimed that Liverpool did make a serious enquiry for the Leeds star in January as they were looking to bring in a new right-back.
However, he does not expect the interest to persist in the summer when the Reds are likely to look at more players and a few more targets are expected to become available.
Dave Davis said on Anfield Index’s Transfer Show: “This is a weird one, and my gut is telling me that Liverpool don’t revisit this, but Liverpool did make a serious enquiry for Jayden Bogle.
“Does it mean that they will go back for him in the summer? We don’t know, but I’m struggling to see it.”

Leeds will breathe a sigh of relief as Bogle has been a key player, and the club are not keen to lose him in the summer transfer window.
Unless some other club come in for him, it now seems certain that the defender will continue at Elland Road next season, if Leeds remain in the Premier League.
Leeds will have to hold on to their best players
Leeds held on to their best players in the summer, which meant that they didn’t have much legroom to spend big on any individual target last year.
Daniel Farke would want to do the same if Leeds remain in the Premier League, as he prefers stability over widespread squad upheaval.
If Leeds survive, a few of their stars will attract interest from clubs in the Premier League, but the Whites must resist the temptation of cashing in on certain players.
Bogle is one such player, as replacing him would be far more complicated, even if they get a big fee from his departure.
Also, if Leeds secure safety, they should not find it hard to convince their best players to stay put at Elland Road.
