But one player Leeds fans might not have expected to lose is one that only joined a year ago. Bought for £5m, Glen Kamara has starred for Leeds in midfield but he is set to join French side Rennes for £8.5m.

If Ethan Ampadu is to remain in defence, Leeds are left with only Ilia Gruev and rookie Charlie Crew in the middle. The Wales talent is yet to make his senior debut for Daniel Farke’s side despite being involved.

Described as “incredible” by Jermaine Beckford, Kamara leaves a big hole as the club’s no.6 and The 49ers now have to get their skates on and make a few signings ahead of the opener against Portsmouth.
