The last week alone has seen the Whites reinforced in significant fashion, by way of the arrivals of both Djed Spence, and Joel Piroe.
Evidently, however, amid efforts to secure an immediate return to the Premier League, the feeling in west Yorkshire is that the job remains far from done.
In turn, on Thursday, Leeds have announced a deal for yet another signing.
The latest player through the door at Elland Road? Ilia Gruev.

As per an official statement across the Peacocks’ website and social media platforms:
‘Leeds United are delighted to announce the signing of Ilia Gruev from Bundesliga side SV Werder Bremen, subject to international clearance and a work permit.’
Gruev has put pen to paper on a four-year contract, through the summer of 2027.
