Leeds United have already strengthened some key areas in this transfer window. Daniel Farke has already asked the ownership to invest in the first team ahead of the new season.
Adding quality to the current crop of players is important, it can be the difference between survival and relegation.
Nothing proves this more than last season; Leeds spent over £100 million in the summer window. The team picked up quality first team starters like Anton Stach and Jaka Bijol which helped them finish 14th.
The 49ers have to do it all over again if they want to improve upon their last Premier League finish.
Harry Wilson has been brought in to add a clinical edge to this attack; he scored 11 goals and provided eight assists last season. The backline also adds new boy Tarik Muharemovic, coming off an impressive stint in the Serie A.
Leeds United interested in move for Champions League star
The Whites have also been interested in midfield targets in this summer window.
Leeds United have offered free agent Julian Brandt a contract as they wait on his decision. They have also decided to leave their final bid on the table for Southampton’s Shea Charles.
Graham Smyth reported that the Whites had interest in Levante striker Carlos Espi.
The 21-year old, who just signed for Real Madrid was one the club had been keeping an eye on. But they did not make a move for the striker in this window.
This showed that Leeds were keeping an eye on the strikers in the market this summer.
According to 4-4-2 CH, the Whites are interested in Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi. The 21-year old scored 22 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions for the Belgian club.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are also said to be monitoring the situation.

Club Brugge president has vetoed summer transfer deal
Unfortunately for all the interested clubs, Club Brugge President Bart Verhaeghe is not willing to let the player leave.
He told Het Laatste Nieuws that “his top scorer is not allowed to leave for money in the world. Not for a record amount, not even when an interested party goes a step further,”
Brugge have already turned down £30 million for the young striker.
Verhaeghe is determined to hold on to his prized asset in the near future. The Belgian side have already lost one of their start to the Premier League as Christos Tzolis joined Arsenal.
This is definitely a transfer saga that Leeds United need to stay far away from in this window.
Is that Leeds ploy, show interest in players that wont leave there current teams?
If they general rule is to keep silent about transfers until they are almost complete, then anything short of this is no more than rumour. Agents like to link every club that even considers an informal interest, because they want to shop window the player to sell for as much as they can get. Leeds have many options available. If they secure Trafford, the three signings so far will have strengthened the side of last season. Brandt would have been a risk, no transfer is free – it is a financial commitment. At 30 he may not have lived up to his reputation, in the premiership and in his heart I think he knew this. There is still money to be spent, we have not bought Charles and might have had him and Brandt reducing the transfer budget. There are players that are available much cheaper to buy, but they… Read more »
