Trimming the squad will allow for new blood, which appears to be necessary for a club in need of rejuvenation. The rumour mill is turning at a rapid pace and based on links with players, here is how Leeds United could potentially line up this season.
. Karl Darlow
Illan Meslier's days at the club appear numbered and Joel Robles was not offered a new deal at the end of the season, therefore a new goalkeeper could be on Leeds' shopping list. The experienced Karl Darlow, currently of Newcastle United, has been linked. Photo: Stu Forster/Getty Images
. Cody Drameh
The defender has been the subject of transfer speculation but has reportedly been given assurances over playing time if he remains at Elland Road, which could tempt him to stay. Photo: George Wood/Getty Images
. Charlie Cresswell
The 2023/24 campaign could be the one in which Cresswell establishes himself at Elland Road. Robin Koch has already left on loan and with Diego Llorente reportedly close to following the German out of the door, Cresswell could be given a chance to secure first-team regular status.
