Leeds United

In

Kemar Roofe (midfielder, Oxford), Marcus Antonsson (attacker, Kalmar), Rob Green (goalkeeper, QPR), Hadi Sacko (midfielder, Sporting, loan), Kyle Bartley (defender, Swansea, loan), Matt Grimes (midfielder, Swansea, loan)

Out

Lewis Cook (midfielder, Bournemouth), Mirco Antenucci (attacker, SPAL), Scott Wootton (defender, released), Tommaso Bianchi (midfielder, Ascoli), Casper Sloth (midfielder, Aalborg), Giuseppe Bellusci (defender, Empoli, loan), Lee Erwin (attacker, Oldham, loan)

All change again for Leeds which is no great surprise. Steve Evans was dismissed after a large period of being in limbo, unsure whether his contract would be renewed. In the end owner Massimo Cellino has appointed to appoint former Swansea manager Garry Monk as his new boss. Monk has done his best to bring in new additions capable of turning around this once great old club's fortunes. The loss of Lewis Cook to Bournemouth is a big blow but the arrival of Kemar Roofe is exciting. Goalkeeper Rob Green offers experience while Monk has made the loan signings of Kyle Bartley and Matt Grimes from his former club. You still feel Leeds are somewhat short but they will look for goals from Chris Wood who had a stop-start season last time around.

Target

Leeds' owners will want promotion but that would seem unlikely without more investment.
