Leeds United are active in the market in the final few days of the transfer window as Daniel Farke pushes to bring in more players before Tuesday’s deadline.
The Leeds boss has made it clear that he wants more new players before the transfer window slams shut, as there are areas of the squad that still need strengthening.
They are looking at several players and considering their options as the 49ers seek a final push to add more quality and depth to the Leeds squad before the window closes.
However, Leeds also need to move on a few players before the end of the window, and it seems they are nearing finalising the exit of one of them in the coming days.

Lucas Perri’s future has been in limbo all summer, and his departure was considered an inevitability after Leeds signed James Trafford earlier in the summer.
However, it has taken weeks for his future to get sorted. Torino have had an agreement in place to sign him on loan with an option to buy for some time now.
But there were suggestions that the Italian club were having second thoughts about signing the Brazilian this summer, and were unsure about his fitness.
Those doubts have been cleared, and according to Fabrizio Romano, Perri now has the green light to travel to Italy to complete the formalities of the transfer.
Torino have a full agreement in place with Leeds, and the Brazilian is on the verge of finalising his exit from the Whites in the coming hours.
Leeds are also finalising the arrival of goalkeeper Michael Zetterer from Eintracht Frankfurt, and he will be the number 2 goalkeeper behind James Trafford at Elland Road.

The Whites need a few more after a goalkeeper
Zetterer will sort out the backup goalkeeper problem for Leeds, but the club need a few more signings to complete the squad before the window closes.
Leeds still need a quality backup striker who can complement Dominic Calvert-Lewin and provide one more goalscoring option to Daniel Farke.
It is unclear whether Leeds will sign a backup for Gabriel Gudmundsson or trust James Justin to feature in that role again next season.
Farke still wants to bring in a left-sided attacker, and there are rumours that the club are keen to bring in one more centre-back.
