Leeds United transfer news live: Daniel Farke highlights need for reinforcements | OneFootball

Daniel Farke says there are some obvious areas of his Leeds United squad that need attention as the final two weeks of the summer window approach, comments delivered after Wednesday’s pre-season meeting with Manchester United.

According to Leeds Live, Leeds and Hull City have reached an agreement for Joe Gelhardt, who is set to move to the MKM Stadium on a four-year deal if the final stages of talks go to plan, and Leeds have been linked with a £17m move for Zian Flemming.

The 24-year-old striker has spent the past year and a half on loan with the Tigers, who faced rival interest from Wrexham and Birmingham City.

The 28-year-old is expected to leave Burnley following relegation to the Championship, with Elland Road viewed as a possible destination. Burnley are expected to want about £17m for the centre-forward regardless of their situation.

Farke said the line-up highlighted shortages in specialist cover. He declined to discuss positions publicly, suggesting that doing so would inflate prices, and said he was hopeful of further signings before the deadline.
