Leeds United have endured a mixed start to their summer transfer window so far.
The Whites have already secured four new signings as they aim to strengthen Daniel Farke’s squad as much as possible ahead of their top-flight return, including Jaka Bijol and Gabriel Gudmundsson.
However, Leeds have lost out to Sunderland over the signings of both Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki.
Their window is beginning to gather pace, and with that in mind, MOT Leeds News rounds up all the latest players who are linked with a possible move to Elland Road.

Leeds are understood to have made an offer worth £12.9million to sign Jeremie Boga from Nice.
The forward notched three goals and one assist for the French outfit in what was a difficult campaign for him last time out.
Farke and Co. have designs on bolstering the attack ahead of their Premier League return on 18 August, and the Ivory Coast international has been identified as a potential option to strengthen their hand at the top of the pitch.
The former Chelsea youngster is believed to open to a potential return to English football.

Lucas Perri has emerged as a potential option to replace Illan Meslier between the posts next term.
The newly-promoted outfit had been hotly tipped to sign Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, but Perri has now become their main priority to take on their number one spot.
The Brazilian was part of the Lyon squad that was provisionally relegated from Ligue 1 due to financial difficulties, and their appeal against their demotion could add an additional complication to Leeds’ pursuit.
The Whites are yet to make an offer for the 27-year-old, and it remains to be seen whether their interest will materialise.

Leeds are also preparing to battle West Ham for the signing of El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague.
Their Premier League rivals have already seen a bid knocked back by the Czech capital club, who are open to doing business if the offer of a £21.6m package is put forward.
Slavia boss Jindrich Trpisovsky had revealed that Diouf is training alone ahead of a likely exit, and although he and the hierarchy want to keep hold of their starlet, it seems likely that he will depart this summer.
Farke’s side are yet to make a move for the Senegal international, but they could be waiting in the wings to pull off a deal as their interest still remains.

The Whites are gearing up for what could be a lengthy chase to sign Anton Stach.
The West Yorkshire outfit are expecting their pursuit of the midfielder to be a fairly drawn-out process, with Hoffenheim currently thought to be receiving interest from several clubs.
Stach is understood to be considering an exit from his current club, and Leeds have made contact with him about a potential move, although there is currently no concrete offer on the table.
The 26-year-old was a key figure at the heart of the midfield for Hoffenheim last term, and would provide a crucial upgrade to the spine of Farke’s team.

Leeds may be preparing to lodge a fourth bid for Sean Longstaff, after Newcastle knocked back yet another offer for the 27-year-old.
The Whites have now made three separate attempts to land the Englishman, who has over 200 Premier League appearances to his name, but they seem undeterred in their pursuit.
Longstaff has one year remaining on his current contract in the North East, but Eddie Howe is reluctant to sell him as he needs the squad depth to be able to compete on four fronts next term.
The 49ers will have to up their offering if they want to bring the midfielder to Elland Road this summer.
