Leeds United\u2019s unbeaten pre-season has given fans plenty to be excited about, but the work isn\u2019t done yet. <\/strong><\/p>\n

While Daniel Farke\u2019s side has shown a new level of defensive solidity and tactical cohesion, the final weeks of the transfer window are now focused on adding a few key pieces to complete a near-perfect summer.<\/p>\n

The club are said to be targeting another \u00a343m man<\/a> and Daniel Farke has reiterated some worries he has<\/a> ahead of the 2025\/26 season. <\/p>\n

But the question remains: how many more additions are needed to truly complete the squad and ensure they are fully equipped for the Premier League?<\/p>\n

Leeds United\u2019s pre-season campaign has provided plenty of reasons for optimism heading into their Premier League return. Their results include draws against top-tier sides like Manchester United (0-0), AC Milan (1-1) and a draw against Villarreal. <\/p>\n

Arsenal handed Leeds United an unexpected pre-season<\/a> boost after losing to Villarreal, giving Leeds the encouragement they can hold their own against some of these big sides. <\/p>\n

One of the standout players has been Joel Piroe, who continued his prolific form from last season by consistently finding the back of the net. <\/p>\n

New signing Anton Stach<\/a> also impressed in midfield, showcasing his dynamic presence and even scoring the equaliser against AC Milan. <\/p>\n

Daniel Farke\u2019s side has shown defensive solidity and a clear tactical identity, a great sign of things to come. The ability to compete physically and mentally with top European clubs bodes well for their Premier League<\/a> survival bid. <\/p>\n

While injuries to key players like Jayden Bogle who \u2018could be out for a while\u2019<\/a> are a worry, the depth and performance of new signings have provided a confidence boost ahead of the season opener against Everton.<\/p>\n

A replacement for Patrick Bamford<\/a> has been a huge conversation this transfer window, after Farke told him he wasn\u2019t part of his Premier League plans. <\/p>\n

And now according to reports from Italian journalist\u00a0Alfredo Pedulla<\/a>, Leeds have agreed a fee for Andrea Pinamonti<\/a>, the Italian forward who scored 11 goals last season while on loan at Serie A side Genoa.<\/p>\n

While those reports have been unconfirmed on English shores, and Italian media are renowned for their rumours, Pinamonti is 26 and stands at 6ft 1in, the criteria Adam Underwood<\/a> wants.<\/p>\n

In terms of more attacking reinforcements, Leeds need to grab another winger, and Leicester\u2019s Bilal El Khannouss could be the man for the job. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s already been claimed that Bilal\u00a0El Khannouss\u2019 wage demands will not be an issue for Leeds<\/a>. That was before it was said\u00a0Leeds held a meeting with El Khannouss\u2019 camp<\/a>\u00a0last week, with an update still expected.<\/p>\n

Leeds are also keen for more options when it comes to their full-back position, with Jayden Bogle currently side-lined, and his influence has been hard to replicate.<\/p>\n

Leeds\u2019 interest in signing a new full-back is directly tied to the potential departure of Isaac Schmidt<\/a>. Werder Bremen has reportedly made a loan offer for the Swiss international, and Leeds are said to be willing to let him go once they secure a replacement, and the club have 22 days to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United\u2019s unbeaten pre-season has given fans plenty to be excited about, but the work isn\u2019t done yet.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334824,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[119359,748,1385,393,4884,1860,2924,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-334823","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-andrea-pinamonti","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-daniel-farke","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-leeds","14":"tag-patrick-bamford","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115008206901465964","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334823\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
