The latest Leeds United transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 20 August 2026.
Leeds have spent this window fixing the two positions that undermined last season: a club-record £40m on James Trafford to settle the goalkeeping question, and £34m on Tarik Muharemović to replace the departed Pascal Struijk at centre-back.
The rest of the business has been housekeeping — Harry Wilson arriving on a free, five fringe exits — and Daniel Farke's remaining fortnight is about depth, not headline signings. The Leeds United transfer news below tracks all of it, updated daily.
