Daniel Farke has revealed that Leeds United are not quite finished in the transfer market, with the manager admitting the club would like to bring in at least one more player before the window closes.
The Whites have already made significant moves this summer as they prepare for another demanding Premier League campaign.
However, despite Farke expressing satisfaction with the club’s business so far, the Leeds boss is keeping the door open for another arrival.
Speaking ahead of Leeds’ Premier League meeting with Brentford, Farke delivered a clear message: the club will remain active if the right opportunity presents itself.
“I’m very pleased with our window,” Farke said.
“But we will stay awake, because we would like to still try to add one more.”
Leeds are also reshaping their goalkeeping department as the transfer deadline approaches.
Goalkeeper Lucas Perri has been granted permission to complete a loan move to Torino, with the Italian club having an option to make the transfer permanent.
His expected departure has paved the way for Leeds to bring in Michael Zetterer.
The German goalkeeper has received permission from Eintracht Frankfurt to finalise his move to Elland Road, giving Farke another option between the posts.
The goalkeeper changes add another layer to Leeds’ late-window activity, but Farke’s latest comments suggest the club may not stop there.
Rather than declaring the transfer business complete, Farke has chosen to keep Leeds’ options open.
His use of the phrase “stay awake” is significant. It suggests the club is monitoring the market closely and is prepared to move if a suitable player becomes available.
That approach could prove important during the final stretch of the window, when clubs often become more willing to negotiate and unexpected opportunities emerge.
For Farke, however, there is no suggestion that Leeds will sign a player simply for the sake of adding numbers.
The manager has already described the window as a successful one, meaning any further arrival is likely to be viewed as an opportunity to strengthen an area where the squad can still improve.
Attention now turns to Brentford, with Leeds looking to continue their Premier League campaign on a positive note.
The match comes at a crucial stage of the season, with the transfer deadline looming and Farke balancing preparations for the weekend with the possibility of further squad changes.
Leeds supporters therefore have two reasons to keep an eye on the final days of the window.
The club is already preparing for Perri’s departure and Zetterer’s arrival, while Farke has made it clear that another signing remains on the agenda.
The message from the Leeds boss is simple: the window may be looking good, but the work is not finished yet.
And with Farke and the club prepared to “stay awake”, Leeds could have one more transfer twist before the deadline shuts.
