Leeds United are working really hard to get some deals over the line before the new season begins. The 49ers have brought in just three new signings with over a week to go to the new season.
Harry Wilson, Tarik Muharemovic and James Trafford have been the latest arrivals at Elland Road.
But the club now has plans to add a few more targets. Sky sources believe that Leeds could add more than four new players to the first team before the transfer deadline.
Among these targets include a backup goalkeeper, a fullback, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a striker.
The club will also not hesitate to replace outgoing players, with interest having risen in many first team stars in the last few weeks.
Leeds United agree personal terms with World Cup star
Joe Gelhardt, Largie Ramazani and Lucas Perri are all players heading out of the door.
Hull City have agreed a deal for Gelhardt, with a medical having been completed. Other clubs have joined Valencia in the race for Ramazani and Lucas Perri is on his way to Turin for a medical.
Sebastiaan Bornauw is the latest to be liknked with a move away from Leeds United.
Hamburg have stepped up their interest in the past week, with a lot of confidence that they can get a deal across the line.

49ers continue excellent recruitment
Sebastiaan Bornauw was a decent player, it was just unfortunate that he did not play much as a backup.
Nico Elvedi will be a solid replacement; he is a player that has previously worked with Daniel Farke.
An experienced player in a top league in Europe, and a constant selection with his national team, Leeds are adding some real quality to the backline.
The 49ers have been doing solid recruitment over the past few seasons, and Elvedi will be the latest addition. The Whites are improving upon the team that finish in 14th place last season.
Their Premier League rivals have been improving so it was necessary for Leeds to do same.
Elvedi would be a good signing. We must keep in mind though it would be one in and one out again. Net again in players over last seasons squad is only one…. and that is Wilson. The good news , the players we have brought in are improvements, however we need 4 least 3 or 4 more .. including a second goal keeper. I just hope they get the players in and not fall short as they did last summer
Striker needed.
