After clinching the Championship title, Leeds are heading to the Premier League two years on from their last top-flight campaign.
Daniel Farke had a star-studded squad at his disposal last season, although the growing gulf in quality between England’s top two tiers suggests it will still need a lot of strengthening.
Leeds have been linked with a host of players in recent weeks, while a number of their current squad members have been linked with exits.
It remains to be seen how Leeds will line up on the first day of the Premier League campaign, with only reports to go on at this stage of the summer.
Fans may already be dreaming of how the Whites could shape up next term - and who could blame them for getting excited?
Here is how the Leeds squad (starting XI and nine substitutes) could look in an ideal scenario, based on transfer rumours that have emerged so far.

10. CAM: Habib Diarra
Strasbourg's captain has reportedly been the subject of a £21.9m bid from Leeds and would arguably be a huge coup for the Whites. His pedigree was on full display earlier this week, when he starred in Senegal's victory over England. | FREDERICK FLORIN/AFP via Getty Images

11. LW: Wilfried Gnonto
There is an argument to be made that Gnonto is better suited to the Premier League than the Championship. He was among Leeds' most impressive operators during their last season in the top flight and has taken plenty of experience on board since then. | Cameron Howard/Getty Images

12. ST: Rodrigo Muniz
Leeds are said to have made enquiries regarding the Fulham frontman's availability, although their chances of landing him have been played down. The arrival of a player of his calibre could potentially push Joel Piroe on to the bench. | HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty Images
