Leeds United have already sold six players this summer and despite the recent lull in activity, that could be about to become seven as a Premier League club come calling.
Archie Gray was the first to kick things off, joining Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £40m. Glen Kamara made the surprise move to French side Rennes for a fee of around £8m, while four others have been sold.
Marc Roca has gone to Real Betis on a permanent deal this summer, before being followed by Diego Llorente. Both fees are not expected to even reach £10m, for two players that cost the club a huge £28m.
Charlie Cresswell has finally got himself out of Daniel Farke’s clutches and joined Ligue 1 side Toulouse for around £3.8m, while Kris Klaesson has got fedup of being third choice and gone to Polish side Rakow.
Leeds closing in on seventh sale of the summer in winger
Plenty of other players have been linked with the exit door. Wilfried Gnonto more so than most, though Everton’s signing of Denmark star Jesper Lindstrom is set to end any chance of Gnonto joining Everton.
Brighton have bid for Georginio Rutter, while other Leeds players have been loosely linked with a move. But none more so than The Championship’s Player of the Season in the form of Crysencio Summerville.
West Ham are the latest club to show an interest in Summerville though there is thought to be a difference in fee between the two clubs. West Ham want to pay £20m for Summerville, Leeds want £40m.

He said: West Ham have reached an agreement with Crysencio Summerville on personal terms. The player said yes to contract and project. Negotiations underway between West Ham and Leeds, after first bid.”
