Leeds United’s new era under manager Thomas Christiansen is on the verge of getting a kick-start if the latest transfer rumours are anything to go by.
A flurry of activity appears to be abound, with Leeds linked with three impressive attacking additions over the past 24 hours.
Midfielder Mateusz Klich was linked by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf,, even if FC Twente are reluctant to let him leave.

Macedonian winger Ezgjan Alioski is also claimed to be closing in on a switch by Swiss outlet Corriere del Ticino.
Leeds are also claimed by Estadio Deportivo to be trying to muscle in on Eibar’s deal for Spanish attacker Samu Saiz.
Transformation
While the obvious knock against the trio is a lack of Championship experience, that doesn’t have to be a negative. See Pontus Jansson or Gaetano Berardi.
Leeds had the fewest shots on target last season of any Championship club, and were over reliant on top scorer Chris Wood.

Alioski has been prolific for Lugano this past season, not only scoring 17 goals but providing 14 assists.
Mix him in with wingers Stuart Dallas, Hadi Sacko and Kemar Roofe and Leeds’ options suddenly look a lot better.
Saiz is a secondary striker, who could play off Chris Wood or up alongside him.
The Spaniard netted 12 goals last season and provided nine assists, and would be an upgrade on Marcus Antonsson.
If played in the number 10 position he could share the load with veteran Pablo Hernandez, and really do some damage.
Leeds already have several central midfield options, but Mateusz Klich adds a touch of class. He is a Poland international with vast experience and still only 27.
He could well be an upgrade on Eunan O’Kane and Liam Bridcutt, and give Leeds some real bite in midfield.
If Leeds could get all three which is certainly viable, they will be in a far better position than they ended last season, and suddenly could start being very optimistic about their promotion chances.
