Leeds United have already made two major signings this summer. And Daniel Farke is expected to push for more new faces before pre season begins.
The Whites will fly to Germany for a training camp. Unfortunately there will be no fans or spectators present due to instructions from German security agencies. Leeds will surely push to wrap up some deals this week. According to multiple reports, Wolfsburg defender Sebastiaan Bornauw is set to arrive in England for a medical.
Lukas Nmecha was the first signing to arrive, but the Whites are still keen on adding another center forward.

Leeds United told to avoid former Everton star

Talks for Lecce striker Nikola Krstovic has stalled; Leeds have agreed a fee with the Italian side. But the problem is convincing the striker to move to England, as he is keen on staying in Italy.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin announced his exit from Everton this summer, he is out of contract and is now a free agent. The Whites have been strongly linked with him. Ian Darke has warned that a move for the Englishman would come with a lot of baggage:
“If I supported Leeds, that would be the worry, you would say well, that is a great name and people might get a bit excited about it.” he told MOT Leeds News.
“Then you would have another think, how many games are we going to get out of him? On recent evidence, how many goals, come to think of it, are we going to get out of him as well?
“The very best of Calvert-Lewin is a terrific signing, but he comes with a lot of baggage, doesn’t he now?
“He is almost England class at his very best, but we have not seen very much of his very best in the past few seasons, for reasons that are not his fault.”
Darke is right about Calvert-Lewin
The striker has missed 60 Premier League games since 2021. It has been due to a mix of injury issues and fitness problems. His form has also been poor; just 17 league goals in the last four seasons.
Leeds are better off pursuing other targets outside the former Everton man.
