Leeds United’s best XI after seven signings, £86m spent and Jean-Matteo Bahoya call | OneFootball

Leeds United capped their window with two deadline-day loans on Tuesday, adding Melvin Bard from OGC Nice and Jean-Matteo Bahoya from Eintracht Frankfurt to make seven arrivals.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, they follow Harry Wilson, Tarik Muharemovic, James Trafford, Nico Elvedi and Michael Zetterer, with an expectation that at least three could lift Daniel Farke’s starting XI.

With most of last season’s core kept, Farke now has greater quality and depth. The report sets out a strongest XI and bench that involve every new signing.

In goal, club-record buy James Trafford is installed as first choice and viewed as a clear upgrade on previous starters.

Joe Rodon is injured at present but is typically ever-present when fit, offering recovery pace and licence to step forward in a hybrid role.

Jaka Bijol fits the central centre-back role, relishing direct duels with opposition strikers.

Tarik Muharemovic, signed from Sassuolo, has impressed and at 23 is seen as having significant scope to grow.

At right wing-back, Jayden Bogle supplies width and attacking thrust while remaining steady defensively, with James Justin a reliable understudy.

Captain Ethan Ampadu knits midfield together and brings real bite.
