Leeds United rounded off their pre-season in style on Saturday, cruising past Augsburg 4-0 with their Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest now just a week away.
Attention will now turn back to the transfer market, with the club still keen to strengthen a few key areas before the window closes.
Leeds have already agreed a deal to bring Nico Elvedi in from Borussia Monchengladbach, while Sebastiaan Bornauw is set to leave Elland Road and join Hamburg this summer.
The Whites are also putting plenty of work into their outgoing business, with several players expected to depart as Leeds look to cut down the squad, bring in funds and free up space for further additions.

Player due for Leeds United medical today
Leeds United are working to wrap up the departures of Joel Piroe, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Lucas Perri, with all three players expected to leave the club in the coming days.
At the same time, the Whites are pushing to get a major incoming deal over the line.
Leeds have already reached an agreement to sign Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back Nico Elvedi, who has spent the last 11 years with the German club.
Gladbach boss Eugen Polanski recently confirmed that the defender wants to leave this summer and indicated that the club will not stand in his way.
The defender has arrived in England to complete the move, and according to journalist Gianluigi Longari, Elvedi will undergo a medical with Leeds today.
The Whites will put the 29-year-old centre-back through an extensive medical today ahead of him signing a contract with the Whites.
Personal terms are in place between Leeds and his representatives, and the Whites have agreed to pay £8.5m to Gladbach as a transfer fee.
Leeds are keen to formalise Elvedi’s arrival before officially sanctioning the departure of Bornauw to Hamburg.
Nico Elvedi will bring more experience to the Leeds defence
Sebastiaan Bornauw was a useful option for Leeds United, but he never really got enough opportunities to establish himself as a reliable back-up.
Nico Elvedi would be an excellent replacement. The Swiss centre-back has plenty of experience at a high level in one of Europe’s top leagues and already knows Daniel Farke from their time together.
A regular for Switzerland, Elvedi would bring valuable experience and quality to Leeds’ defence. If the Whites complete the deal, it could prove to be another smart piece of business.
The 49ers have generally recruited well in recent seasons, and Elvedi could be the latest example. Leeds are clearly determined to improve on the team that finished 14th last season, particularly with several Premier League rivals strengthening around them.
