Leeds United continue their quest to add some much needed quality ahead of next season. Competing with bigger clubs in the Premier League will definitely not be easy.
The Whites strolled through the Championship, picking up 100 points on their way to winning the league title. There is the fear that the quality in the team will not be enough to survive the Premier League next season. All three newly promoted sides this year were relegated, with all three failing to surpass 30 points in the top flight.

Brenden Aaronson could have some incoming competition after news this week. Leeds are keen on signing two attacking midfielders from the Championship this summer. Daniel Farke is keen to address some areas of the squad when the window opens.
The Whites are set to reignite their interest in Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer. The Blades star had a phenomenal season, and was named EFL Championship player of the year. With his team failing to win the playoff final, Leeds could easily swoop in to seal a deal.
Another name that has been linked is Finn Azaz. The Irish Sun has reported that the Middlesbrough man is drawing interest from Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Leeds are also keen on the midfielder; a deal will not be cheap, according to a source close to the club.
Leeds address attacking midfield concerns with possible signings
There were valid concerns over the quality of Aaronson this season; many fans thought he did not offer enough. Despite this, the 24-year old was productive, scoring nine goals this season. The Premier League will force teams to rely on their depth throughout the 38-game season.
Daniel Farke was quite stubborn with his team selection over the past year, but he will have to rely on squad depth. The best way to do this is to add quality players all over the team.
