Leeds United are likely to sign more players this summer if they can.

Swansea manager Garry Monk

Leeds United have already signed six new players this summer but they continue to be linked with plenty more.

Manager Garry Monk will have been pleased to get an opening pre-season victory under his belt earlier this week but expect him to further strengthen his squad while he can.

Here we take a look at the top four players to have been linked with Leeds this week:

Felipe Avenatti (TMW)

Leeds have long been linked with Ternana striker Felipe Avenatti but the latest report claims Monk is keeping a close eye on the player’s contract situation.

With just a year left on his deal it is being suggested the Uruguayan could move on this summer to ensure his current club receive a transfer fee.

This one appeared to have died out, only for recent reports to suggest Leeds are still weighing up a move for the free agent.

The former Watford man has been blighted by injuries in recent times yet it is now being suggested that he could be offered a pay-as-you-play deal.

With Charlie Taylor’s future at Leeds unclear, the Whites have been tipped to sign Walsall’s Rico Henry as a potential replacement.

The left-back is a brilliant player who looks set for a very bright future in the game, so if Leeds can seal a deal it should be applauded.

With Lewis Cook leaving Elland Road this summer, Leeds were always going to be on the lookout for a new midfielder and it is being reported that Reading’s Danny Williams could be that man.

The USA international has one year left on his current deal and could be available for a cut-price fee as a result.
