Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Sean Longstaff’s timeline, Kyle Walker-Peters developments, and Anton Stach’s stance.
The transfer window is intensifying for the 49ers and Leeds United, who are continuing their momentum in the market as more concrete transfer news emerges to add to their four summer additions.
A busy summer still lies ahead at Leeds as Daniel Farke looks to improve several areas of the side, with the Leeds squad far from ready ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, and Gabriel Gudmundsson have all become Leeds players in recent weeks, meaning they are making progress but more are set to follow and this week has been particularly hectic.
In the meantime, with vital months ahead for Farke and the recruitment team, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club in another whirlwind week.

The deal was placed on hold after Newcastle rejected a third Sean Longstaff bid last week but a breakthrough has been made in recent days.
The latest regarding the fee is that it will now cost Leeds £15 million for Longstaff, including add-ons. Others have stated Longstaff could be confirmed before the weekend, with transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirming Longstaff’s medical with Leeds.
Longstaff is one of seven signings Leeds will make in the final two months of the summer. However, some fans are calling Longstaff Leeds’ best summer signing already before it’s even been completely finalised.
