Leeds United have brought in 10 new players to bolster their squad in the ongoing transfer window. They have spent a shade over £100m, and the club are pushing to add more quality to their squad before the September 1st transfer deadline next week.
The Yorkshire giants confirmed the arrival of James Justin from Leicester City on Monday. They have agreed to pay a fee of £10m to Leicester City for the versatile defender, who can operate in both full-back positions and as a centre-back.
Leeds are in the market for more players before the end of the summer transfer window. Daniel Farke wants to add two more attackers to his squad as he wants more cover for the final third of the pitch.
The Whites are keen to sign a striker and a versatile winger who can operate as a number 10. The Leeds boss wants tactical flexibility and is keen to bring in more versatile forwards before the window closes on September 1st.

Manor Solomon returns to training as Leeds United eye late move
Solomon has been heavily linked with a return to Leeds all summer, despite insisting earlier in the window that he wanted to stay at Tottenham.
The winger has failed to impress Thomas Frank and missed a considerable portion of pre-season because of an injury.
A return to Leeds is still on the cards this late in the window, and according to The Athletic, Solomon has returned to training after getting over his fitness issues.
His return to training is expected to accelerate his exit from Tottenham, who are keen to get rid of him before the transfer window closes on September 1st.
Leeds remain interested in the player, and he would also prefer a return to Elland Road over other options this summer.
Spurs are open to offers for him, and are prepared to listen to both permanent and loan bids for Solomon in the ongoing transfer window.
Solomon will suit Farke’s needs
Daniel Farke wants to add one more winger to his Leeds squad before the end of the window, but he has a very specific need.
The Leeds boss wants a winger who can also play as a number 10, as he wants more tactical flexibility in his squad this season.
Leeds have their eyes on Dilane Bakwa, but it is unclear whether he has it in him to provide the versatility that the Leeds boss wants from his winger.
Solomon is the kind of player who suits the Leeds manager’s requirements. He can play on the left flank and also play as a number 10 in the team.
It remains to be seen whether Leeds opt to make a move for Solomon and take him back to Elland Road in the final days of the transfer window.
