Leeds United are now fully focused on getting through transfer deadline day with a squad with sufficient quality to mount a promotion push. The Whites have spent the last week or so adding to their once thin-looking squad, and they have now wrapped up Glen Kamara to add further strength to their midfield.
Daniel Farke will now be determined to survive deadline day without losing key stars Luis Sinisterra and Wilfried Gnonto, with late interest expected. With deadline day rumbling on, we have put together Leeds’ best starting XI should they manage to keep hold of key stars. Take a look below.
1. GK - Illan Meslier
Meslier has the number one role for now after a good start to the season.
2. LB - Sam Byram
The returning Byram is going to be the first choice left-back this season.
3. CB - Joe Rodon
Rodon, signed from Tottenham, has the experience and quality Leeds need at the heart of defence.
4. CB - Liam Cooper
The same can be said of leader Cooper, who will be a key part of the back line.
5. RB - Djed Spence
Spence has arrived on loan from Tottenham, and he should play a starring role at right-back.
6. CDM - Ethan Ampadu
Ampadu is at his best in the holding midfield role, though he can also cover at centre-back.
