Leeds United are rapidly running out of time to secure more players for Daniel Farke as the transfer deadline day looms large.
The Whites have signed five quality players this season, the latest being the arrival of Michael Zetterer from Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday evening.
However, Daniel Farke has conceded that he still needs a few players to plug gaps in the squad, and the club are trying to work on a few late-window deals.
Leeds have also received an approach for Wilfried Gnonto, with Fiorentina in talks to sign the winger. However, the club are only likely to sanction his departure if they sign one more attacker.

The club remain hopeful of a stunning late-window deal
Chelsea turned down two loan offers from Leeds United for Mykhailo Mudryk last week because they were unhappy with the terms of the deal and needed more assurances.
The Blues are keen to loan the winger to their sister club in France, Strasbourg, where they can have more say over his playing minutes and greater control over his future.
However, Mudryk is holding out to stay in the Premier League and joining Strasbourg is not one of his priorities before the transfer window closes.
According to The Athletic, Leeds remain hopeful that they can still strike a late-window deal to sign the Chelsea winger before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.
The Whites believe Mudryk is keen to move to Elland Road and are keen to try until the end to finalise a loan deal with Chelsea in the next 48 hours.
If Leeds sign Mudryk or an alternative winger, then they would consider letting Gnonto leave Elland Road before the end of the transfer window.
Leeds are yet to secure a striker
Signing a striker was seen as one of the priorities for Leeds at the start of the summer transfer window. However, with just two days left in the window, they are yet to bring in a new number 9.
They are still heavily dependent on Dominic Calvert-Lewin to remain fit and score the goals up front, while Lukas Nmecha is not seen as a prolific hitman.
Leeds also allowed Joel Piroe to join West Ham on loan this summer, presumably with the idea of bringing in a new striker to replace him in the squad.
But with little over 48 hours left in the window, Leeds are yet to bring in a striker, and they remain focused on adding a wide forward at the moment.
