got his wish following Georginio Rutter’s exit of four new signings, his desire for a new no.10 did not materialise. Farke asked for two attacking players, a full-back and a goalscoring midfielder.
He got Manor Solomon and Largie Ramazani and then Schmidt and Tanaka. It sees complete a mini rebuild, but perhaps failing to improve the quality of the squad ahead of a second season.
It might be that The Whites are remaining active on the free agent market, with plenty of big names still without a club. The likes of Adrien Rabiot, Anthony Martial and Memphis Depay are still free agents.
The 31-time capped player terminated his contract with Basel towards the end of July, ending his second stint with the Swiss giants after three years. A player that has played for Daniel Farke’s old side Gladbach.
Leeds are well stocked in defence, but could do with a player that is capable of playing in any position in the back line. Pascal Struijk, Junior Firpo and Sam Byram are no stranger to injury and cover is required.
