Leeds United are struggling to do deals on the final day of the transfer window, and with just over six hours left in the window, there is an increasing chance that deadline day will come and go without the Whites bringing in one more signing.
Daniel Farke has been insisting on adding two more players to his team’s attack before the transfer window closes tonight. However, there are now serious reservations about the club bringing in anyone in the final hours of the transfer window.
The Facundo Buonanotte transfer collapse at the end of last week really derailed Leeds’ plans, and the club have been scrambling for other targets in the last 48 hours, without much success.
They retain a tentative interest in Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer. But Eduard Spertsyan won’t be leaving Krasnodar on transfer deadline day, Bilal El Khannouss is set to join VfB Stuttgart, and Dilane Bakwa is on the verge of finalising a deadline day move to Nottingham Forest.

The Leeds United stance on the final day of the transfer window
According to The Athletic’s Beren Cross, Leeds are still working to bring in at least one more signing before the transfer window closes at 7 PM.
It emerged earlier today that Leeds may not bring in anyone else before the end of the window, but it has been claimed, the club are working hard behind the scenes to get one deal over the line.
The new arrival is likely to be an attacking midfielder, and Aston Villa have already turned down a loan offer for Buendia from the Whites, and he is now likely to stay at Villa Park.
However, Leeds are refusing to offer any guarantees on the arrival of an 11th new signing before the transfer window closes in the next few hours.
The club are rapidly running out of time, and still have a lot to do, in terms of paperwork and a medical, to bring in just one more signing before 7 PM.
Leeds are also working on outgoings with Darko Gyabi and Illan Meslier likely to leave the club before the window closes.
