Leeds United are struggling to bring in players on the final day of the summer transfer window. The club are pushing to work out a few deals, but with hours left in the window, there is nothing imminent about the arrival of at least one more signing.
With just four hours left in the transfer window, Leeds are scrambling for options, and the fans are feeling edgier about the club’s chances of bringing an 11th signing of the summer.
Leeds submitted a loan offer for Emiliano Buendia earlier today, but Aston Villa rejected the bid. The Midlands club, while pursuing Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, have opted not to let the Argentinian depart on deadline day.
The Whites want to sign one more player before the 7 PM transfer deadline, but the club are refusing to offer guarantees about bringing in someone. The club could be forced to look for a free transfer deal after the window closes.

Leeds United target Josh Brownhill has rejected a massive Championship contract
Josh Brownhill scored 18 goals in the Championship as he led Burnley to promotion to the Premier League. However, the attacking midfielder decided against signing a new contract and left the Clarets at the end of the season.
He has been assessing options all summer and has a massive contract offer on his table to move to Saudi Arabia.
However, he has suitors in the Premier League, and Leeds are among the clubs that have shown an interest in snapping him up on a free transfer.
He is also being courted by clubs in the Championship, and according to EFL Analysis, Brownhill has rejected a huge offer from Leicester City.
The Foxes wanted to add his goals and promotion-winning experience to their squad and offered to make him one of the highest-paid players in the Championship’s history.
A move to Leicester would have seen him earn close to £100,000 a week, but he rejected the offer.
Brownhill would be an interesting signing after the window for Leeds
He is likely to move to Saudi Arabia, but Brownhill could be waiting for a Premier League offer. His free agent status allows him to join a club outside the transfer window.
It remains to be seen whether Leeds try to sign him following the transfer deadline if they fail to bring in an attacking midfielder in the next few hours.
