Leeds transfer round-up: More to come as four others could follow James Trafford

Published on

Leeds United fans are still awaiting confirmation of James Trafford's arrival, but the transfer business will not stop there.

A week on from Leeds emerging the frontrunners to sign Trafford, there has still yet to have been any announcement made of the deal being done.

However, everything points towards an agreement being very close to the line, with Leeds expected to pay Manchester City £40million upfront.

Once Trafford follows Harry Wilson and Tarik Muharemovic in arriving at Elland Road, focus will turn elsewhere.

Certain names continue to be linked, while a new player may also now be on the Whites' radar.

Here, MOT Leeds News rounds up all the big transfer news emerging out of Elland Road over the past 24 hours.

Petar Sucic emerges as new target for Leeds

Central midfield links have been quite hard to come by this summer for Leeds.

However, Inter Milan ace Petar Sucic is now reported to be of interest to the Whites.

Sucic is a rising star to say the least, but he will not be taken from Inter easily.

Update emerges on James Trafford's wages at Leeds

Trafford could be a Leeds player before the end of Tuesday - that is how close we are led to believe a deal is to being done.

For now, the latest speculation regards how much he will be paid by Leeds.

It is suggested Trafford will be on wages of £130,000 a week at Leeds, with the Whites very much doing everything in their power to sign him.

That is on top of the reported £40m Leeds are paying City, plus potentially a further £5m in add-ons.

Leeds happy to wait for Julian Brandt transfer decision

Julian Brandt is another name that has been on Leeds' radar for quite a while now.

The former Borussia Dortmund ace is a free agent and will have an array of clubs to choose from.

Leeds are not ready to wait for Brandt to decide on his future, as they consider this a "market opportunity".

Basically, United would love to get a deal done but accept it cannot be forced.

Leeds have four more transfer wishes after Trafford

Exactly who Leeds move for next after Trafford is anyone's guess.

If certain reports are to be believed, Leeds have four more areas they would like to strengthen before the window closes.

One of those is a back-up goalkeeper for Trafford, while another is left-back competition for Gabriel Gudmundsson.

Daniel Farke is also said to be eager to sign another striker and an attacking midfielder before the end of play.
