Rodrigo Muniz signs - Daniel Farke's dream XI at Leeds United
Leeds United are preparing for a tough season in the Premier League, and more signings are desperately needed.
Daniel Farke is aiming to keep the Whites in the top flight following their promotion from the Championship, and four new signings have arrived so far.
Leeds have strengthened their defence with Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Gabriel Gudmundsson, while further forward, Lukas Nmecha has also joined on a free transfer.
However, Leeds have not yet addressed their two biggest priorities, a goalkeeper and striker, but once they do, Farke could have his ideal starting line-up ready for the beginning of the season.
Rodrigo Muniz to join Farke's Leeds dream team
Farke will hope more additions will arrive at Elland Road soon, with some ambitious Premier League players now targeted.
Nick Pope has been linked as a replacement for Illan Meslier, and with Newcastle set to sign James Trafford, the experienced shot-stopper could be a shrewd addition.
Leeds will continue with Jayden Bogle and Joe Rodon in defence, but they will likely be joined by Bijol and Gudmundsson to tighten up the back line.
This could see Ethan Ampadu move into his preferred spot in midfield alongside Ao Tanaka, and they could be joined by another Newcastle player in Sean Longstaff.
Dan James and Willy Gnonto could start on the wings, but the key signing will come upfront.
Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz has been the subject of a £32m bid already, and the Brazilian could be an ideal fit for Farke as a number nine capable of providing goals in the top-flight.
Leeds need to make signings quickly
Pre-season is underway for Leeds, and they will need their new signings to adapt quickly as the entire squad adjusts to Premier League football.
Sunderland have already made several huge signings and are expected to be competitors with Leeds in the fight to survive the relegation battle.
If Leeds can land Pope and Muniz, both could make an immediate impact as players with bags of experience in the league, but they will still need time to adapt to Farke's style and their new teammates, making pre-season vital.
Leeds cannot afford to get these signings wrong, but whoever they do bring in needs to deliver as soon as possible to give themselves the best chance of success.
