Insider reveals Leeds could make three more signing this summer
Leeds United have ramped up preparations for pre-season. So far almost every first team player has reported for the fitness tests.
Some players will be given an extra week to rest after being on international duty this summer. Wilfried Gnonto and Mateo Joseph featured in the U21 European Championships, while Brenden Aaronson played a part in the Gold Cup for the USMNT.
Leeds will kick off their pre season with a training camp in Germany, before they face Manchester United in a week’s time. The Whites are still working on some transfer deals, and could add some new faces to the team before they play in Stockholm.

Leeds are working on signing Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach this week. The club have had a third bid rejected for the Newcastle man, and could be preparing a fourth offer.
Hoffenheim have also made it clear that Leeds will have to pay a premium fee to sign Anton Stach this summer.
Leeds United could make three new signings
After four signings this summer, the fans are still expecting more. The squad also has some holes that need filling.
Graham Smyth believes that the club are focusing on making signings in these three positions:
“I feel like Leeds are caught in this tension of not wanting to overpay.
“I think what they’re trying to do is save money for the top end of the pitch where they’re going to have to spend big.
“Spend big on a striker, and possibly a No.10, and probably a winger. Those players cost the earth, generally.”
Who could Leeds sign in these positions?
Leeds have made it clear they could be in the market for another center forward despite signing Lukas Nmecha. So far the club have been linked with the likes of Josh Sargent and Callum Wilson.

Ultimately, Nikola Krstovic is still the best striker that Leeds have been linked with this summer. He can make a real difference up front
In attacking midfield, multiple reports have indicated that it could come down to Emi Buendia vs Gustavo Hamer. They are both really good options, but based on consistency and form in recent years, Hamer should be the choice.

He is coming off the back of a season where he had 10 goals and eight assist. Exactly the dynamic playmaker the club needs.
The Whites have not been linked with a lot of names outside Manor Solomon when it comes to wingers. The Spurs man seems like the best choice.

He has top flight experience and is coming off a great season under Daniel Farke. Leeds need to push for the deal to happen.
