What Leeds United now have at top of shortlist after James Trafford transfer
Leeds United won't stop once they complete a move for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.
The England international's arrival at the Whites feels imminent after a £45million package deal was agreed some time ago.
It's clear that the West Yorkshire outfit are pushing to add quality rather than quantity to their squad, having already signed Harry Wilson and Tarik Muharemovic.
Daniel Farke and 49ers Enterprises plan to further reinforce the squad at Elland Road after Trafford's signing is made official.
There are still quite a few areas on the pitch that need strengthening.
The recruitment department in LS11 have identified their next transfer priority as the German manager prepares for next season.
How many incoming transfers Leeds United want next
Trafford has completed his Leeds medical, and his arrival at Elland Road is close to being announced.
The Whites still have their eyes on a few positions they want to bolster, one being up front.
According to the Daily Mail on 6 August, signing a versatile attacker is at the top of the West Yorkshire outfit's wishlist.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin shouldering the goalscoring burden last season in LS11, he clearly needs more help.
Farke would welcome another creative outlet with open arms despite acknowledging that Brenden Aaronson is underrated.
The Peacocks also want to add cover for Gabriel Gudmusson in the squad, with the Swedish left-back picking up an injury during pre-season.
When Elland Road doors can open for new striker signing
At the moment, Farke has Calvert-Lewin, Lukas Nmecha, Joel Piroe and Joe Gelhardt at his disposal for the number nine position.
The former VfL Wolfsburg striker was a decent deputy to the Englishman at Elland Road in the previous campaign.
It looks like the Whites are looking to cash in on Gelhardt after his impressive spell on loan at Hull City in the Championship.
Piroe could potentially look for a way out as well in the coming weeks for guaranteed minutes elsewhere.
Multiple departures up front would undoubtedly open the doors for the Peacocks to reinvest the money in a new attacker before deadline day.
