So far in this transfer window, there have been more exits than arrivals at Leeds United. Harry Wilson is the only player to have been announced since the start of the window.
The Whites had been pursuing the attack since last summer.
Daniel Farke has now got a quality player who can produce – he had 11 goals and eight assists last season. He will be a welcomed addition to this set of Leeds attackers who struggled last year.
The club have also lost players early in this window; with Pascal Struijk the first major name to go.
Struijk was open to leaving the club, and Leeds took the decision to sell when he was not willing to sign a new deal. The transfer fee was used to balance the books for PSR at the end of June.
Leeds United star set for exit after agreeing deal
Karl Darlow has officially left the club after turning down the option of continuing.
He will join Manchester United, and has officially signed as a player. Darlow’s exit came as a bit of surprise as most fans thought he would remain at Elland Road for the next season.
Now, Leeds United have an urgent need for goalkeepers in the first team.
And things are about to get even more complicated – La Stampa (via Toro News) have reported that Lucas Perri has agreed personal terms with Torino. The Italian club have been pursuing the Brazilian in recent weeks.
The club needed an alternative target after missing out on Paraguay keeper Orlando Gill.
From the report, it is believed that Torino will push for a loan deal for the 28-year old.

Lucas Perri wants to leave Elland Road
According to the report from La Stampa, Lucas Perri wants to leave.
He is unhappy with the situation since he arrived in West Yorkshire. Perri was benched towards the end of last year, and Karl Darlow was first choice till the end of the season.
It is believed that the Brazilian wants a ‘change of scenery’ after what happened in the last few months.
Leeds are not against letting Perri go, but the club will have to sanction a deal for a replacement before allowing the Brazilian to leave. The Whites have been pushing to solve their goalkeeping problem this summer.
Karl Darlow’s exit complicated things even more, and now with Lucas Perri out of the door, it will be an interesting transfer window.
Need a decent Gk, Trafford or Suzuki, Mf, maybe O’Shea, St, need a different option to Lewin, still only signed Wilson? 🙈
We are getting desperate for a Gk, don’t leave it to last minute, and end up with someone thats past it?
