After Harry Wilson was officially confirmed as a Leeds United player, reports came out about plans for the summer window. The Whites are keen on adding five players to the team this summer.
Last year saw the team sign 10 first team players to help them avoid relegation.
This summer, no one is expecting a huge outlay, but the team desperately needs to improve the quality if they want to survive another season in the top flight. Daniel Farke made this clear near the end of the season.
Wilson’s arrival means that the 49ers can check one box for a serious team need.
The Whites have wanted a midfielder who can create and score goals, and the former Fulham man provides just that. He comes with a lot of Premier League experience, which will be key next season.
Major move could threaten Leeds United pursuit of World Cup star
Leeds United are still in search of a new goalkeeper.
Karl Darlow is a free agent, and there is no word on if he will re-sign and return to Elland Road. The veteran has been attracting interest from Manchester United and Everton.
Parma keeper Zion Suzuki has popped up on the radar after his performances at the World Cup.
Initially, reports claimed that he had ruled out Leeds as a potential destination, but another report from Italy says that the Whites are pushing to sign him.
An obstacle has emerged, as Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Juventus are weighing up a move for Aston Villa keeper Emi Martinez. This could disrupt Leeds’ pursuit of Suzuki.
Villa are said to be one of the suitors for the Japanese international, and Martinez’s departure could accelerate a move.

49ers cannot afford to let this slip
Leeds United need a new goalkeeper this summer.
And the situation has been made more complex as Karl Darlow has decided to delay his decision. If he does decide to leave, the 49ers could be caught off guard this summer.
Getting in a new keeper should be the priority heading into pre-season.
Lucas Perri is the only goalkeeper under contract, and the club will definitely be looking at better options than him.
Leeds want Suzuki, and Parma want to sell the Japanese international. Going all out to sign the 23-year old star would be a long-term investment for the future.
