The summer transfer window won’t open for some time yet but Leeds United are already being linked with a number of potential signings. Of course, at this moment in time Leeds are locked in a promotion battle at the top of the Championship and don’t know what league they will be competing in next season.
Getting over the line and regaining a spot in the Premier League is the priority then and Daniel Farke’s side will be pushing over the final three games of the season to claim a top two berth. That’s when they can turn their eye to potential targets in the event of promotion, such as those who the club have been consistently linked with over the last few months.
A number of high profile players have been mentioned by various outlets and the club could have money to spend, too, should they go up. With that in mind, here's a look at how Leeds could line up next season based on the summer transfer rumours we've seen so far.
1. GK: Viktor Johansson
Leeds have been linked with a move for the Rotherham United man who is said to have a relegation release clause. The Swede is highly thought of in the game and if Leeds were to make a move for him, he would be expected to challenge Illan Meslier for a spot.
2. RB: Ben Johnson
Leeds were heavily linked with Johnson in January and with his contract at West Ham United nearing its expiry, they have already been linked with a summer move.
3. CB: Joe Rodon
Rodon has starred on loan this season and Leeds are expected to make a move to sign him permanently, should they win promotion.
4. CB: Ethan Ampadu
Leeds' Player of the Season has been a picture of consistently since joining from Chelsea.
5. LB: Anselmo Garcia MacNulty
Leeds and Leicester City have both been linked with the Spanish-born Irish left-back who is currently playing on a regular basis for Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle.
6. CM: Sean Longstaff
Longstaff is another who has been consistently linked with a summer switch to Leeds. Recent reports in the Sunday People suggest that could happen for a fee of around £15m, should Leeds win promotion.
