If a recent report from the German outlet BILD is believed to be true, Leeds United have their eyes on Timo Werner. But they are not alone in the hunt, with fellow Premier League newcomers Burnley

Werder Bremen have been chasing Leeds United’s Isaac Schmidt all summer. They reached an agreement with the fullback in July and were waiting to sort out terms with the Whites to conclude the operation.

Doncaster Rovers loanee Charlie Crew has been named in the Wales squad for September's World Cup qualifiers alongside three of his Leeds United club-mates, ruling him out of their game against Bradford City.

Newcastle United head to Elland Road on Saturday with a number of injury concerns to deal with and a host of key players set to miss out. Their late defeat to Liverpool on Monday night came at a cost with Sandro Tonali, Joelinton and Fabian Schar all being injured during a bruising 90 minutes.

Last month, Werder Bremen reached an agreement with Isaac Schmidt and have been in talks with Leeds United ever since to agree terms for the loan transfer. The Whites wanted to sign a replacement first before letting the 23-year-old leave this summer.

Sunderland still hope to complete some signings before the transfer window closes, according to the own words of manager Regis Le Bris.

Jeff Stelling has now told Leeds United why signing James Justin from Leicester City as their tenth summer signing is a mistake.

Leeds United are delighted to announce the arrival of highly-regarded defender James Justin in a permanent deal from Sky Bet Championship side Leicester City. The 27-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Whites and becomes summer signing number 10 of a busy window for Daniel Farke’s team.

Sunderland remain attentive to the various opportunities that the transfer window offers, and would be in a battle with three Premier League rivals.

Leeds United have lost another central midfielder to a knee ligament injury for several weeks after Ao Tanaka sustained a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury. The Japan international was missing from Tuesday’s Carabao Cup penalty shootout loss to Sheffield Wednesday. Leeds manager Daniel Farke confirmed the injury after the match.
