Daniel Farke says Leeds United are close to fifth summer signing | OneFootball

Daniel Farke says Leeds United are close to adding a goalkeeper, with movement expected in that department as the window nears Tuesday’s 11pm deadline. Speaking on Friday, he declined to name targets until deals are signed but noted Lucas Perri has been allowed to travel and that an arrival is near.

According to Leedsunited.news, Leeds want two or three more additions before the cut-off. They have already spent more than £80m on four signings, James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic, Nico Elvedi and Harry Wilson.

A back-up goalkeeper, full-back cover and competition for Dominic Calvert-Lewin are being sought, with options on the left and up front under consideration. Mykhailo Mudryk and Conrad Harder have been linked, while Max Aarons is a possibility at full-back. In goal, Frankfurt’s Michael Zetterer is set to arrive.

Earlier, Perri was filmed arriving in Turin ahead of a loan-to-buy move to Torino. The structure is an initial loan fee plus a buy option, with a total value around £13m mentioned.

Leeds had been made to wait to complete the Zetterer deal while Frankfurt secured Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu. The move has now been given the green light, with a £4.3m fee expected between Leeds and Frankfurt.
