Leeds United have already done some decent business since winning the Championship and earning promotion to the Premier League at the end of last season, but the club are keen to get a move on with regards to a few sales in the coming weeks.
The Yorkshire giants have signed five new players, including Sean Longstaff from Newcastle United, and are set to add a sixth new face in Anton Stach, who is set to join from Hoffenheim imminently for a deal worth £17.4m.
Leeds are keen to focus on bringing in a few forwards for their squad in the coming weeks as they push towards adding more goals and creativity to their team ahead of returning to the top flight of English football next season.
However, the Whites are also keen to sell a few players too as they look to generate funds and clear out the excess from their squad before the end of the transfer window. A few players are almost certain to move on from Elland Road in the upcoming weeks.

Wrexham join the race to sign Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt
Joe Gelhardt struggled to earn Daniel Farke’s trust last season and was eventually loaned out to Hull City in the latter half of the Championship campaign.
The forward is certain to move on from Leeds, and Hull are interested in getting their hands on him on a permanent deal in the ongoing transfer window.
Birmingham City are also interested in Gelhardt, and according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Wrexham are also keen to sign the forward this summer.
The Welsh club have earned three promotions on the trot to get into the Championship, and are now eyeing building a squad to get into the Premier League.
Gelhardt has emerged as a target for Wrexham, and Leeds are more than open to offers for him in the ongoing transfer window.
The Whites were said to be demanding somewhere around £8m for his departure, but are ready to accept offers for about half that price.
Gelhardt needs to cut the cord with Leeds
The 23-year-old versatile forward is rated highly in English football, and many feel he has been unlucky not to get a sustained run in the Leeds team.
Farke made it clear last season that he is not a big fan of Gelhardt, and he is not going to be a part of his plans in the Premier League as well.
A loan move doesn’t work for either party as the forward needs a clean break from Leeds to get a fresh start at a new club where he will be valued.
Leeds and Gelhardt’s representatives will have to work together to ensure that a permanent deal gets agreed upon for his departure soon.
