Daniel Farke, Adam Underwood, Alex Davies and The 49ers have some big decisions to make this summer and it starts with which Leeds United players are able to produce in the Premier League. Leeds have been promoted as champions, accumulating 100 points. Just four losses throughout the 2024-25 season, Leeds’ best-ever points tally in a solitary campaign and Daniel Farke deserves plenty of praise. But there is a chasm between the Championship and the Premier League, and it’s widening.

New names continue to be linked with a move to Leeds United after the club were promoted back to the Premier League – and Jamie Carragher is a big fan of the latest player to be touted. The Whites are expected to be busy this summer as The 49ers look to build a squad capable of staying in the Premier League during 2025-26. Easier said than done, with all three promoted teams now relegated. Paraag Marathe has said Leeds will spend every possible penny without breaking Profit & Sustainability Rules.

Leeds United fans will be hoping that The 49ers can find more success in the transfer market this summer than Andrea Radrizzani and Victor Orta managed during the summer of 2022. That window saw Leeds sell Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips for a combined £100m, spending the cash on numerous areas of the squad to try and improve as a whole. It completely backfired, ending in relegation. Orta and Radrizzani signed players with no Premier League experience in 2022.

Leeds United are expected to bring in a raft of new signings this summer all over the pitch, with a surprise situation emerging at full-back with The Whites suddenly requiring additions. This season, Leeds have been well-stocked on either side of the defence. Junior Firpo and Jayden Bogle have started most games, while Sam Byram has filled in. Isaac Schmidt joined the club in August 2024.

Leeds United will need to spend big to stand any chance of Premier League survival this summer but a few bargains here or there won’t go amiss either, with a free agent on the radar. There is no doubt that Leeds will spend big to improve the overall quality of the starting XI. But in terms of improving the strength in depth in Daniel Farke’s squad, Leeds may need a few bargains, or a loan. That, or bringing in free agents.
