Leeds United are “confident” of completing three signings this week before the transfer window closes, sources have told Football Insider.

Football Insider revealed that the deal to sign Manor Solomon is set to be announced imminently, with that transfer being all but done.

Solomon will head to Elland Road on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham after he rejected a move to Getafe.

However, two more first-XI deals are set to follow the winger as Daniel Farke aims to strengthen his squad before deadline day.

Talks with Ilias Chair and Max Aarons are currently ongoing, and both deals could be completed by the Friday deadline.

Aarons worked with Farke at Norwich City, and the Leeds boss is said to be a big fan of the full-back.

Leeds United want to enhance the squad for the new season

Farke is looking to bolster his squad before the transfer window closes, especially after missing out on Jonathan Rowe.

Leeds had been monitoring the former Norwich winger, but he opted to join Marseille instead.

The Whites have lost several key players during this transfer window such as Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville who the club are trying to replace.

Leeds currently sits sixth in the Championship after the opening three games, with the West Yorkshire giants undefeated in the league so far.

The Whites will be back in action on Saturday (31 August) against Hull City.
