Leeds United are reportedly planning five more signings this summer as they look to strengthen Daniel Farke's squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The Whites are closing in on the ambitious signing of Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, and Sky Sports claims Leeds will eye a further five more additions following his arrival.
Trafford is on the brink of a £40million move to Elland Road, where he's expected to be No.1 following Karl Darlow's move to Manchester United and ongoing uncertainty around Lucas Perri's future at the club.
Sky Sports claims the Whites will target a back-up goalkeeper to address the changes at the club this summer in that department.
Illan Meslier's departure at the end of his contract means Leeds have Alex Cairns and Perri as the two senior keepers in their ranks, but Trafford's arrival will strengthen things significantly.
Leeds will be hoping to kick on next season after a 14th placed finish last season, bucking the trend of newly promoted clubs suffering from relegation in the following campaign.
The Whites finished eight points above West Ham United in the final relegation place, but just six points behind a spot in the Europa Conference League.
It's claimed Leeds will target a new full-back, winger, central midfielder and striker as they look to strengthen Farke's squad.
As things stand, the Whites have been shrewd in the transfer market, with the free signing of Harry Wilson, who impressed with Fulham last season and the arrival of Tarik Muharemovic.

Leeds are looking to bring in attacking reinforcements to add more goals to their ranks, easing the load on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The Whites held talks with German playmaker Julian Brandt following his release from Borussia Dortmund, but instead signed for Eredivisie side Ajax.
It's clear from those talks, that Leeds are looking to add a creative midfielder to their ranks, specialising in the number ten position.
