It is shaping up to be a very busy few days in the transfer market for Leeds United.
The Whites have once again left the bulk of their transfer business to the last minute but with that means it could be an exciting week ahead.
Manor Solomon is set to be the first player through the door this week after Leeds and Tottenham finally came to an agreement on the terms of a season-long-loan, without an option-to-buy.
Solomon could then be followed by another three players with full-back, central midfield and seemingly another attacker all on the radar.
Bournemouth’s Max Aarons, Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer and Freiburg’s Roland Sallai are the names most heavily linked at this point.

Leeds face Roland Sallai competition
If Leeds are able to follow the signings of Largie Ramazani and Manor Solomon with those three players it would represent a superb end to the window.
Aarons would provide real quality competition in the full-back positions, Hamer is the exact sort of number eight Leeds need, while Sallai is a cut above this level.
Leeds are said to be pushing hard to sign Sallai in a deal worth £7.6 million with the player also keen on the move, but a new update from Sky Sports Germany reporter Philipp Hinze would suggest there is work to do.
Hinze has reported via his Twitter account that talks are underway between Leeds and Sallai, but a French Ligue 1 club are also interested in a deal.
Whether top level interest would sway him away from a move to Elland Road remains to be seen, but at this stage, it is Leeds making the most effort to sign him.
Hinze wrote: “Sky Info: @LUFC expresses interest in Freiburg’s Roland Sallai. There is already contact between the player and the club. The exchange is concrete. A French first division club is also interested in Sallai. @TheAthletic also reports on Leeds’ interest. Sallai is open to a new challenge.”

What is the current transfer state of play at Leeds?
As mentioned, it is going to be a busy next few days at Leeds providing they can land all of their targets.
Full-back target Aarons is ‘expected’ to leave Bournemouth before the deadline and Leeds are set to fight it out with two Serie A clubs for his signature.
In midfield, Hamer has reportedly agreed personal terms with Leeds and it is now up to the 49ers to stump up what Sheffield United are demanding.
Finally, Leeds look set to announce the loan capture of Solomon imminently and he could be followed by Sallai.
