Leeds United three-man transfer shortlist emerges to assist Daniel Farke promotion push

Leeds have lost a total of 19 players so far this summer – 11 of which were involved in Farke’s squad last season – with only five incomings.

 

They now have one of the smallest squads in the Championship and have seen several of their most important players walk away to pursue higher ambitions.

This has left the board with plenty of work to do before the transfer window closes on 30 August, amid a scramble to bolster Farke’s side.

 

A slow start to the season in which they have failed to win any of their three opening games – suffering a loss and two draws – has increased the urgency for new deals.

 

A midfield partner for Ilia Gruev remains a priority in the closing stages, while finding adequate replacements for Rutter and Gray is seen as crucial to their promotion push.
