Leeds United are plotting moves for two central midfielders and two wingers this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

The Whites are putting plans in place for their return to the Premier League after winning the Championship title.

Football Insider revealed on Wednesday (7 May) Leeds will have a budget of £150million to spend when the window opens next month.

The Yorkshire giants have set their sights on making 10 signings as they bid to secure their place in the top flight.

Leeds want two wingers and two central midfielders

It is believed big upgrades in the middle of the park are on the agenda at Elland Road despite their strong performance in the Championship this term.

Ao Tanaka, Ilia Gruev, Joe Rothwell and Joshua Guilavogui are the current options for Daniel Farke in central midfield - but the latter two are set to leave at the end of their contracts in June.

Position	Team	Played	Points	GD
1	Leeds United (C)	46	100	65
2	Burnley (P)	46	100	53
3	Sheffield United (PO)	46	90	27

Championship final table

Meanwhile, Leeds leaned heavily on star wingers Manor Solomon, Largie Ramazani, Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James during their title-winning campaign.

The Whites are keen to make Solomon's loan permanent by agreeing a deal with Tottenham when the window opens.

Farke's side are also ready to make one further addition in wide areas to ensure their attack is potent enough to thrive in the Premier League.

Major Jack Harrison update at Leeds

Meanwhile, Football Insider has revealed (5 May) that Jack Harrison is not likely to return to Leeds for the 2025-26 campaign despite their promotion.

Everton and David Moyes are yet to decide whether to pursue a permanent move for the winger.

Harrison has three years left to run on his contract at Elland Road but it is believed he will have to look for a new club elsewhere if the Toffees decline to sign him.
