There is still plenty of work to be done in West Yorkshire as Leeds United continue their summer transfer business. Seven players have already come through the Elland Road doors and almost £100million has been spent as the club look to learn from last season’s near-fatal mistakes.
Almost all of Victor Orta’s priority positions have been filled, with central midfield reinforcements arriving in the shape of Marc Roca, Tyler Adams and Darko Gyabi. Leeds also replaced the departing Raphinha with Luis Sinisterra, while the arrivals of Rasmus Kristensen and Brenden Aaronson helped Marsch to implement his philosophy.
But Orta remains hard at work behind the scenes to add further quality to the squad, with a striker the absolute priority for much of the summer. Junior Firpo’s injury against Blackpool, however, has resurfaced the need for a left-back and Jack Harrison’s uncertain future has ignited talk of another winger.
