The transfer window officially opened on Friday and there has already been plenty of activity at Elland Road. RB Salzburg duo Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen were signed before the window opening for a combined £35million, and Leeds United remain on the hunt for further reinforcements - particularly upfront and in central midfield.
There is probably only one position in which new arrivals haven’t been linked: central defence. Jesse Marsch has five options at centre-back and five very different individuals, ranging from Spain international and £18 million signing Diego Llorente to 19-year-old academy graduate Charlie Cresswell.
The wealth of choice is so much that Cresswell - who made his debut against West Ham last season and picked up five Premier League appearances - is to speak with Marsch and Victor Orta about his immediate future, with a loan move on the cards. But it remains unclear which senior combination of Llorente, Liam Cooper, Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk give the Whites the strongest foundations with which to build their team.
