Leeds United had a nightmarish end to their summer transfer window. The Whites were linked with moves for several forwards, and Daniel Farke was keen to bring in two more. However, the club ended deadline day on a poor note after missing out on a key target.

He is expecting movement in the race to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain in the coming days as he looks to seal a return to England.
“Oxlade-Chamberlain is available as well”, he told Football Insider.
“A number of clubs have been having a look at him.
“He’s got a great CV, played for Arsenal and Liverpool, and he’s a Champions League and Premier League winner from his time at Liverpool.
“Now that he’s left Besiktas, clubs have been put on alert by his availability.
“There’s interest from clubs in the Premier League, Championship and across Europe as well, with Leeds and Birmingham among them.
