Major news has hit Leeds United in the past few hours as the club prepare for their US training camp. In this window, the Whites have been able to add two first team players.

Harry Wilson joined on a free transfer, and the club splashed the cash on Tarik Muharemovic.

Both signings bolster different areas of the team; Leeds needed an attacking edge after the poor showing last season, and Muharemovic replaces Pascal Struijk. More business is expected to be concluded in the coming weeks.

It was reported on Thursday that the pursuit of James Trafford is now a reality.

Leeds held talks with Manchester City over the player, who is said to be open to a switch to Elland Road. Now, the formalities of the potential deal are being discussed to find an agreement.

Trafford was with the England squad at the 2026 World Cup.

Major Leeds United exit imminent

As with the way business will go at Leeds United, arrivals will mean that some players will depart.

Isaac Schmidt and Max Wober are the latest exits from Elland Road. Schmidt was sold to Young Boys with the Whites recouping some of their initial spend, and Wober left on a free transfer.

Another exit is near, with Graham Smyth reporting that Jack Harrison will be joining New England Revolution soon.

In a further report from The Athletic, it has been stated that Harrison will be joining the Revolution as a designated player. Harrison returns to the US, where he made his professional debut with New York City FC.

The 29-year old leaves Elland Road after seven years with the club, playing a key role in the promotion campaign in 2019/20.

Jack Harrison’s exit should never have come as a surprise

Last summer when Jack Harrison was in Leeds pre-season, fans were not pleased.

The winger had spent the last two campaigns away from Elland Road. He even said some words that rubbed them the wrong way. Harrison failed to seal a permanent move in his time away and returned last summer.

Him being in the plans for last season were not realistic.

And it showed in the middle of the campaign, as reports emerged that the winger pushed for a January exit. Leeds United can now get him off their books and look ahead into the future.
