Leeds United are expected to have a very busy end to the transfer window. The club have made 10 new signings this season, and could sign a few more before the deadline next Monday.
James Justin was confirmed as a Leeds player on Monday after completing a medical on Sunday. The defender joins the club, and will provide depth for both fullback roles in the team. Daniel Farke is also pushing for the club to sign another attacker, and possibly an attacking midfielder this week.
Leeds will also be concerned about exits. There are multiple players expected to leave the club before the window closes. With James Justin in the team now, the Whites are in talks with Werder Bremen over sanctioning a permanent transfer for Isaac Schmidt.

Largie Ramazani is another player who could seal a deal in the next few days. The attacker was left out from the squad to face Arsenal, with Daniel Farke saying that the decision had ”nothing to do” with the player. It was then revealed that La Liga side Valencia were in talks to sign the winger on loan.
Both clubs have been negotiating to find the right details for the transfer. Valencia wanted a purchase option, but Leeds turned down the proposal.
Reports from Spain say the club are pushing to complete the deal for the Belgian, with head coach Carlos Corberan keen to have him with the squad for their next game on Friday.
Leeds need to get their deals done quickly
With the club working on securing the departures of Largie Ramazani and Isaac Schmidt, it is fair to believe some new signings are on their way. Daniel Farke has already asked the club to bring in a few more attackers.
How Leeds performed against Arsenal is a telling sign that the team will need quality to survive at this level.
