What Leeds United sources said about late transfers after draw vs Brentford
Leeds United aren't filling fans with confidence when it comes to their remaining transfer business.
Premier League clubs have until 11pm on 1 September to conclude their signings this summer.
Daniel Farke admitted he needed more after the 1-1 draw with Brentford on Sunday, with injuries hitting.
Joe Rodon was forced off injury with a hamstring issue, leaving depth non-existent in defence.
And with Willy Gnonto en route to Fiorentina, more than one new face is needed in LS11.

What have Leeds said about transfers?
With time running out, the Whites could be running out of opportunities at the same time.
Beren Cross has reported via The Athletic that noises around Elland Road from Leeds was that the most likely transfer is an attacker.
Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk is said to be the only legitimate name that has appeared as a target so far.
It's stated that chats around the stadium weren't very optmistic surrounding a new signing in defence, mainly at wing-back.
What is latest state of play at Leeds?
So, right now, it's going to be a quiet end to the window.
Gnonto is already heading to Italy, but Leeds sources state that he'll only be allowed to leave if a replacement is found.
Mudryk wants to join Leeds, but Chelsea are proving difficult in negotiations, so it's all up in the air.
Replacing Gnonto, who is loved at Elland Road, with a winger who hasn't been allowed to play for two years, is more than a risk.
It could even ruin the window for many fans, despite the hugely successful start with Harry Wilson, Tarik Muharemovic and James Trafford.
Of course, those signings have elevated the starting XI perfectly, but right now, Leeds need to add depth.
If they don't, and another couple of injuries hit them like Rodon, they could be in very big trouble.
