Leeds United are set for a whirlwind few weeks in the transfer market ahead of the new campaign.

Daniel Farke’s side have already made six signings as they look to consolidate their Premier League status next season after securing promotion from the Championship.

They have signed the likes of Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw, but the most recent addition was centre midfielder Anton Stach and their business has shown no signs of slowing down.

Leeds are targeting a new striker amongst other positions, and Inter star Mehdi Taremi may fit the bill.

A report from La Gazzetta dello Sport (23 July, pg 4) claims that the Whites have made an approach for the forward.

It states that he earns £2.6million per year in Italy, and Porto are also interested in their former forward.

Former Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos could be the next defender to sign for Leeds.

A report from Fotomac in Turkey (23 July) claims that the LS11 outfit are the “most serious” club in the race for his signature.

It states that it would cost the Whites around the £10m mark, which is what the Turkish side paid for him in January.

Leeds will have to beat Marseille if they are going to sign Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao.

Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Graham Smyth (23 July) claimed that the Whites have made an offer for the Brazilian star.

He states that the 25-year-old’s representatives were impressed with the proposal and a move to the Premier League would interest them.

Patrick Bamford may hold the key to Leeds’ pursuit of Fulham star Rodrigo Muniz.

A report from Mail Online (23 July) claims that the Cottagers would want a fee of around £40million to sell the Brazilian.

If the Whites can get Bamford and fellow wantaway Mateo Joseph off the books, then they could be closer to financing a move for the 24-year-old.
