Leeds United are looking to next season as they aim to establish themselves as a Premier League side. The Whites did a fantastic job on their return to the top flight last year.
Daniel Farke managed to guide the team to safety after a shaky start to the campaign.
The team was not in great shape getting to the end of last year, and there was a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Farke. It even went as far as the Leeds boss close to being sacked.
He turned things around and the club managed to go on a run from January that saw them rack up the points.
The Whites ended up finishing in 14th place in the league, securing another season of top flight football at Elland Road.
Leeds United have serious interest in Ligue 1 star
Going into next season it is key that Leeds United reinforce the squad in several areas. When it comes to transfers, Farke has been vocal about what the ownership must do going forward.
In the final weeks of the season when the topic of his future came up, he asked the club to match his ambition.
He added that being active in the market to add quality players was key.
Per Media Foot, Leeds are among multiple Premier League clubs keen on signing Auxerre striker Lassine Sinayoko. The Malian international scored 12 goals for his side last season.
Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham are said to be the other clubs interested in a move for the 26-year old.

Striker keen on exit this summer
Per the report from Media Foot, the interest from the four Premier League clubs including Leeds, is said to be ‘concrete’. All the teams involved are ready to make an offer for the striker this summer.
As for Sinayoko, he is open to leaving Auxerre this summer. The French side are also open to him leaving the club.
Early indicators suggest that a fee of around £13 million will be enough to seal a transfer.
With Leeds United not having a quality center forward option to challenge Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Sinayoko could be the answer. He has a similar profile to the Englishman and has shown he can score goals.
His price tag falls within the range of what the Whites can afford this summer, given the conditions they will be working under when it comes to SCR rules.
