Leeds United are hoping to add a few more faces to their squad before the Premier League campaign starts.
Seven new arrivals have already checked in at Elland Road, and the Whites will be looking to make that double figures before the window closes on 1 September.
After several failed moves elsewhere, Leeds have been making some further progress over the last 24 hours. Here, MOT Leeds News rounds up the latest rumours.

The Whites have already bolstered their midfield with the signing of Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach, and are looking to do it again with the addition of Florentino Luis.
Luis, 25, has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Leeds, Burnley and Everton among the names mooted to be interested in a deal.
The Portuguese midfielder could leave for a fee in the region of £21.6million, though Benfica are yet to receive a formal approach for his transfer.

Leeds have made their intentions to sign Artem Dovbyk clear this summer, but it has since been revealed that Besiktas are at the front of the queue.
With that said, the Turkish giants are yet to make a concrete approach for the Ukrainian, leaving time for Leeds to swoop.
Roma are said to be holding out for around £34.5m to sanction his exit, having paid similar to sign him from Girona just last summer.

Isaac Schmidt looks set to leave Leeds, but Farke has made it clear that he will only greenlight that exit once a replacement has arrived.
With that in mind, Leeds have entered advanced talks for the signing of Mattia Zanotti, with a transfer fee in the region of £8m. The 22-year-old registered 11 goal contributions for Lugano last time out, and could be the next arrival at Elland Road.
