The transfer deadline ends on Tuesday, which leaves Leeds United just a few hours to get their things in order. There are quite a number of deals that need to get across the line.

When it comes to arrivals, the Whites are waiting on the arrival of Michael Zetterer.

Leeds have wanted a backup keeper for the last few weeks and have even given Lucas Perri the green light to join Torino on loan.

In a surprising turn of events, Daniel Farke’s side have also pulled off a late deal for left back Melvin Bard. Gabriel Gudmundsson’s injuries were a concern heading into the season, and now a solution has emerged.

Outgoings will also be something to monitor at Elland Road on Tuesday.

Wilfried Gnonto has been given permission to fly to Italy and be on standby for a loan to Fiorentina. However, Leeds United are adamant a deal will only go through if they find a replacement.

And with Mykhailo Mudryk choosing a move to Spurs, things are now complicated.

Elsewhere, Burnley have agreed a permanent deal to sign Largie Ramazani. The Belgian winger will end his two-year stay at Elland Road, and will join the Championship club.

On Tuesday, Leeds United have also confirmed the departure of midfielder Sam Chambers.

The 19-year old will join Northampton Town in League Two on a season-long loan. Chambers was part of the U21s side last season, and will be getting his first taste of regular senior football with his new club.

He was part of pre-season in Germany under Daniel Farke last year.

Club will be hoping this loan deal goes well

In recent seasons, Leeds United have not had the best of luck loaning out young players.

Charlie Crew had his loan cut short last season, with the Doncaster Rovers boss saying the midfielder ‘was not ready’ for first team football.

Harry Gray had a decent spell at Rotherham, and will be hoping to have a better year at Sheffield Wednesday.

Chambers is another promising talent at the club going out on loan; the hope will be for him to get proper minutes and develop with first team football.
