Leeds United claimed the Skybet Championship last season, racking up 100 points in the process. But it is common knowledge that despite the two divisions being just a step apart, the English top flight is a different ball game.
Having secured promotion to the Premier League after a two-year absence, they brought in a few players in the summer to consolidate on their gains from the 2024/25 season. Since that promotion, a lot has changed at Elland Road, Mano Solomon, who was the hero of last season’s promotion, has since moved on, bouncing around different clubs on loan.

In this article, we will bring you all the latest Leeds done deals and potential departures this winter transfer window, while you can also check out the rumoured Leeds transfer targets ahead of this summer.
