This summer already looks set to be a busy one at Leeds United as the club look to consolidate their Premier League status once again and learn from last season’s mistakes. Brendan Aaronson arrived just days after the season ended for around £25million, while Danish right-back Rasmus Kristensen looks set to follow him from RB Salzburg in the coming days for just short of £10million.
The Whites are known to be in the market for at least two more first-team options, namely a striker to compete with Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt plus a central midfielder to add depth to the position that needs it most. There could also be some significant outgoings, with both Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha attracting interest from Europe’s elite including Liverpool, Manchester City and Barcelona - the departure of one or both of them will likely be met with further incomings.
With all that big-name activity, it’s easy to forget about some of the club’s fringe players. Leeds will be adding to the squad - in terms of numbers and quality - much more than they plan to take away, but a leveling-up of the core group is likely to push the fringes further away.
