Leeds United look more and more likely to stay in the Premier League after seven points from their past three games, sitting in 16th place with eight games to play. The summer is likely to be a busy one, should they stay up.

Here are five players we could see arrive at Elland Road, in due course:

Brenden Aaronson

Hardly a surprising one. Leeds are said to remain interested, given Salzburg only rejected their £20million bid (Athletic) to keep him for Bayern. But it is the most-likely transfer that Leeds will pull off in the coming months.

Javi Galan

Mundo Deportivo said in their paper edition that a move for the £3.5m (Radio Huesca) Celta Vigo ace, was being considered by Leeds. The same outlet stated he had ‘packed his suitcases’ ahead of a move to Elland Road.

Sergino Dest

Mundo Deportivo are also saying that Barcelona’s USA right-back Dest is an option – but only in a player-plus-cash deal to sign Raphinha. Leeds could do with a younger version of Luke Ayling, who turns 31 in the summer.

Morgan Gibbs-White

Gibbs-White, 22, has been brilliant for Sheffield United – on loan from Wolves. Clocking up 29 Championship appearances, he has had a hand in 16 goals. TeamTalk claim Leeds are keen, battling Fulham and Palace.

Keane Lewis-Potter

Another Championship star, Lewis-Potter has scored eight goals and laid on four assists in 40 league games. Hardly encouraging stats, but at 21, very impressive. Planet Sport say Leeds are keen, as are Tottenham and Everton.
