Daniel Farke has a host of new players at his disposal for today’s clash against Sheffield Wednesday after a busy end

to the summer transfer window

After the madness of deadline day, Leeds United are quickly back in action today when they host Sheffield

Wednesday in their final fixture before the September international break.

Daniel Farke will be relieved to see what has been an eventful transfer window at Elland Road close. After an initial

burst of exits, Leeds were able to add eight new faces to the squad this summer before last night’s late dealings that saw Luis Sinisterra join Bournemouth and Jaidon Anthony come the other way, both players moving on season-long loans.

Farke was able to hand Joel Piroe a debut last weekend, with the Dutchman scoring in the win at Ipswich and will be

hoping to have three more players available this weekend after the signings of Djed Spence, Ilia Gruev and Glen

Kamara were made this week, although clearance had not been confirmed for the latter two when Farke spoke to the

media on Friday lunchtime. Anthony’s arrival at midnight missed the deadline, meaning he will not feature yet.
