With four days until the transfer deadline, Leeds United need to decide on what they will do. The club have already gotten off to a great start to this season.
Two wins over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and League Cup have impressed the fans.
This weekend, the Whites will host Brentford in their first home game this season. Daniel Farke will be keen on extending the club’s good run of results, but Keith Andrews’ side are very stubborn.
Brentford have scored nine goals in their last two games, putting three past Spurs in the league last week.
It will be a difficult encounter between the two sides, with the visitors having the slight edge after the serious business they have done in the transfer market.

Leeds United have done some great recruitment themselves, but with the deadline on Tuesday there is a feeling around the club that they could need more.
Farke has already said he is okay with the business done, but will not be opposed to some deals getting done this week.
The Whites have been handed a huge dilemma, as Fiorentina made an official enquiry over winger Wilfried Gnonto. The Italian returned to training this week following a hamstring injury.
He is a doubt to play on Sunday, but could still make the squad.
Fiorentina initially just made contact over the player, but an update has emerged.
Fiorentina are in talks with Leeds over a deal for Willy Gnonto. Discussions ongoing whether it will be a loan or permanent transfer for the Italy striker, 22, after four seasons at #LUFC 🇮🇹🟣 #Fiorentina @TeleFootball https://t.co/6Rb3o8vF0m

Mike McGrath of The Telegraph is now reporting that the Serie A side have advanced talks over a move. Fiorentina are now in discussion with Leeds to figure out a loan or permanent transfer for Gnonto.
There is a slim chance that the winger leaves Elland Road before next weekend.

Advanced talks could trigger Leeds move for new attacker
Beren Cross’ report of the initial enquiry for Gnonto revealed that Leeds would only consider a deal if they could sign a new attacker.
And now that talks have reached a point where both parties are assessing a deal, it points to the fact that the process of finding a new signing is in progress. The Whites have had wingers on their radar in recent weeks.
Leeds had a loan offer for Mykhailo Mudryk turned down, however, it is believed that Chelsea could accept new terms.
Getting another attacker through the door before the deadline should be the priority even if Wilfried Gnonto stays at Elland Road.
