Leeds United are pushing hard to secure more signings of Daniel Farke ahead of the end of the window. The club are keen to bolster their forward, and add the goals and creativity to the team that could help them survive in the Premier League in the upcoming season.
Former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to join Leeds on a free transfer this summer. An agreement is in place between the two sides, and he was put through his paces during a medical on Thursday. The Whites are expected to announce his signing imminently through official channels.
Leeds hope to bring in one more striker before the end of the transfer window. The club have their eyes on Everton’s Beto, and are expected to table a bid for the forward who is expected to leave the Merseyside outfit before the September 1st deadline.
The Whites are also pushing to bring in a new winger, and are interested in AC Milan’s Noah Okafor. Bologna have already failed with a bid for him, and there is more interest in the wide player this summer.

Fenerbahce are interested in Leeds United target Noah Okafor
Okafor has emerged as a top target for Leeds, and the club are in talks with his representatives to explore the possibility of a deal to sign him.
AC Milan are aware of the interest in the winger, but have not made a final decision on whether to sell him this summer.
They have already rejected a bid from Bologna, and according to Sky Italia, Fenerbahce have also joined the race to sign the Rossoneri attacker.
Jose Mourinho wants to bring in a new winger, and the Fenerbahce boss has his eyes on the AC Milan winger in the ongoing transfer window.
Leeds have continued to hold talks with the player, and are looking to convince him before holding discussions with AC Milan over a potential deal.
However, Fenerbahce’s interest could complicate matters. Mourinho is a big pulling factor, and the Turkish giants can offer European football to Okafor.
Leeds also have other winger options on their table
Okafor has emerged as a top target, and Leeds are expected to pursue a deal for him despite competition from Bologna and Fenerbahce in the coming days.
However, Leeds have other options on their table. They have expressed an interest in Ben Doak, who Liverpool are prepared to sell for a deal worth £20m.
Leeds also have the option of making a move for Tottenham’s Manor Solomon, who would prefer to return to Elland Road over other options before the September 1st deadline.
Spurs are open to loan offers for the Israeli winger, providing Leeds further encouragement to try and take him back to West Yorkshire this summer.
