rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Elland Road<\/a>, with Anton Stach being the standout for Leeds so far this season.<\/p>\n<p>More statement signings could be made in the final stages of the transfer window, with <strong>MOT Leeds News <\/strong>taking a look at what business could be done.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

Imago<strong>Leeds United\u2019s summer done deals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/club\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leeds<\/a> prioritised their defensive options at the start of the window, bringing in Jaka Bijol, Sebastian Bornauw and Gabriel Gudmundsson before later adding James Justin from Leicester.<\/p>\n<p>Stach and Sean Longstaff have bolstered the midfield, while Lukas Nmecha, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been brought in to bolster their attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leeds\u2019 summer business so far<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul

emerged over Lucas Perri at Leeds<\/a>, though his clean sheet at home to Eddie Howe\u2019s Newcastle will have subdued some of that.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/hamer-transfer-one-to-watch-at-leeds-as-selles-makes-stark-sheffield-united-admission\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leeds have made no secret of their desire to sign Gus Hamer<\/a>, not just this summer, but also in previous transfer windows.<\/p>\n<p>Before Sheffield United\u2019s defeat to Middlesbrough, it was claimed that <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/huge-leeds-deal-for-gus-hamer-just-about-done-as-final-details-worked-out-with-sheffield-united\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hamer to Leeds was almost a done deal<\/a>, though the Dutchman featured in that clash.<\/p>\n<p>After a winless start in the Championship, he may start agitating for a move, though PSV have also registered an interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/gustavo-hamer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hamer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hamer\u2019s stats at Sheffield

with Leeds<\/a> this summer, and he is the type of statement signing that the Whites need to make in the latter stages of the window. <\/p>\n<p>A left-footed right-winger, <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/dilane-bakwa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bakwa<\/a> is exactly what Leeds are missing this season, and while it would be a big financial commitment, it would be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest have also been linked, showcasing that it is a difficult race to win for the Frenchman.<\/p>\n<p><img

href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/illan-meslier\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Illan Meslier<\/a> has been linked with a Leeds exit all summer, and time is running out for that to become a reality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/illan-meslier-in-utterly-bizzare-leeds-united-exit-twist-as-49ers-enter-negotiations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rangers have been mooted as a shock landing spot for Meslier<\/a>, who could move on from Elland Road for as little as \u00a36million.<\/p>\n<p>After losing his place to Perri, it became evident that the Frenchman had no future with Leeds, though his disastrous campaign last time out has seemingly put off any potential suitors. <\/p>\n<p>If Leeds are successful in their pursuit of another winger, there is a chance that <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/jack-harrison\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Harrison<\/a> could depart Elland Road.<\/p>\n<p>He featured in Leeds\u2019 draw against Newcastle, but offered little, and will drop further down the pecking order if another signing arrives.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the <a
