Leeds United are two signings into a summer transfer window where the club are expected to bring in the best part of 10 new additions, with Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol on board.
Germany international Nmecha has agreed a pre-contract arrangement that becomes official on July 1, while Bijol has completed a £15m move to Elland Road on a five-year deal, seen as a coup by many.
But Leeds still need a goalkeeper, a left-back, a midfielder, a no.10, a winger, and a starting striker as well as more for cover. Below, we look at one signing Leeds could make from every Premier League club.
A realistic signing from every Premier League club:
AFC Bournemouth – Philip Billing
If there is a likeness to be made between Nmecha and Bijol, it is aerial prowess. Billing has returned to Bournemouth after a bench-warming role at Serie A winners Napoli. Leeds wanted Billing last summer.
Arsenal – Fabio Vieira
Leeds desperately need a no.10, better than Brenden Aaronson. Vieira is at the Club World Cup, but will return to Arsenal this summer and is likely to be made available for loan again – and Leeds should move.
Aston Villa – Emi Buendia
LeedsUnited.News have told Leeds will sign Buendia or Gustavo Hamer in the 10 role. Buendia was an obvious target for Leeds in January and is back at Villa after a Leverkusen loan, a potential Farke reunion.
Brentford – Rico Henry
The need for a left-back remains at Elland Road and Rico Henry fits the bill. Fit again, Henry was linked with Leeds in the past and has a deal at Brentford until 2026, making him a potential cut-price signing.
Brighton – Facundo Buonanotte
Leeds were loosely linked with Buonanotte last summer and the need for a 10 remains. One shining light from Leicester’s dismal season was Buonanotte’s creativity, a loan would improve on Brenden Aaronson.
Burnley – Josh Brownhill
Still out of contract, it is a wonder why Brownhill was not a candidate for the Championship Player of the Season award last season. Leeds have been touted with a move for Brownhill and would be a top signing.
Chelsea – Djordje Petrovic
Leeds are strongly linked with Chelsea’s returning goalkeeper after a stunning loan alongside Habib Diarra at Strasbourg. Leeds desperately need a shot-stopper and Petrovic is available, a solid signing.
Crystal Palace – Daichi Kamada
Japan star Kamada was given a bit-part role at Palace during 2024-25 and his contract ends in June 2026. Leeds were linked with a move in the past for Ao Tanaka’s Japan teammate Kamada under Jesse Marsch.
Everton – Beto
Beto has been linked with a surprise move to Leeds this summer, though it is unlikely Everton sell to Leeds given the Whites are direct competition, now have Angus Kinnear and face Leeds on August 18.
Fulham – Rodrigo Muniz
Leeds have seen a £32m bid rejected for Fulham striker Muniz. The Whites are expected to go back in for the Brazilian, though it remains to be seen if Leeds go higher. Give Me Sport say Fulham want £50m.
Liverpool – Joe Gomez
Leeds have been linked with Gomez, who has hinted at a move with a recent Instagram post. The versatile ace would provide cover in all areas at the back with Junior Firpo, Sam Byram and Max Wober set to go.
Man City – James McAtee
If Leeds could pick the signing at no.10, McAtee would surely be up there with Hamer and Buendia. The England U21 skipper has impressed in Slovakia alongside Charlie Cresswell but will leave this summer.
Man United – Tyrell Malacia
The chances of Leeds doing business with this club is unlikely, though not impossible. Tyrell Malacia is back at Man United after a PSV loan but finds Patrick Dorgu in his way and a loan to Leeds may suit.
Newcastle – Nick Pope
In terms of goalkeeper targets, Pope seems top of the tree at the moment. Leeds are hoping The Toon do a deal for James Trafford and that convinces Pope to go, but Pope is said to be happy as Newcastle no.2.
Nottingham Forest – Danilo
Leeds were linked with a move for Danilo under Jesse Marsch. The Brazilian has fallen down the pecking order at The City Ground and he is likely to be made available if the price is right in the coming weeks.
Sunderland – Dennis Cirkin
If Leeds could sign a left-back from last season’s Championship campaign, it would surely be Cirkin. The Whites have been linked with Cirkin during Farke’s era as manager and again, he makes a lot of sense.
Tottenham – Ben Davies
A long-term Leeds target, Davies signed a contract extension at Tottenham earlier this summer. But the Welshman could still leave, with Alasdair Gold reporting the signing of Kota Takai could see Davies sold.
West Ham – Crysencio Summerville
Bit of a romantic one, but Summerville really struggled in his first season at West Ham. Just one goal and injuries. So why not return to the club that made him on loan, with Leeds in need of a left-sided winger.
Wolves – Hugo Bueno
Another left-back to consider, with Bueno back at Wolves after a very impressive loan at Feyenoord. Leeds have been linked with Bueno, but Wolves have sold Rayan Ait-Nouri and Bueno may be kept at Wolves.
