Leeds United are expected to be one of the busier Premier League clubs in the final five days of the transfer window. The club are looking to bolster their squad with a couple more signings, but the club have one eye on much-needed departures as well.
The Whites are focused on adding two more attacking players to their squad as per Daniel Farke’s needs. The manager is worried about the club’s output and creativity in the final third, and is keen to add more goals and attacking imagination to his squad before the window closes on Monday night.
However, Leeds are also accelerating several departures of players who are not part of the club’s plans. Isaac Schmidt will undergo a medical today ahead of joining Werder Bremen on loan, and Largie Ramazani has also reached Valencia ahead of completing his move to the Spanish club.
Leeds still need to resolve the future of a few more players. Patrick Bamford is still contracted to the club, and the Whites are working hard to find a new club for goalkeeper Illan Meslier in the coming days.
