Eleven Leeds United transfers the bookies are backing - from interesting to unlikely

Leeds United secured their return to the Premier League thanks to a memorable Championship title win this past season and now the preparation for the top tier begins.

The Whites are eager to add to their squad ahead of the September 12 start date back in the Premier League.

This desire has naturally led to speculation aplenty on who could end up at Elland Road.

Here we take a look at some of the names who have been linked with Leeds and the odds on them making the switch to West Yorkshire.

Shortest odds

Thiago Almada 13/8

Thiago Almada has been linked with a move to Leeds this summer.

The 19-year-old can play as a winger or a midfielder and has been plying his trade for Velez Sarsfield of Argentina.

Almada has previously discussed his desire to be coached by compatriot Marcelo Bielsa.

Ben White 2/1

The Brighton defender starred for Leeds this past campaign in the Championship.

Leeds want White to return on a permanent deal ahead of next season, but Brighton are weighing up their options.

White himself is in the process of considering his future.

James Milner 3/1

The former Leeds man could leave Liverpool this summer and has been linked with a return to the Whites.

Milner is yet to decide on his future.

Middling odds

Said Benrahma 8/1

Said Benrahma will likely leave Brentford if the club don't follow Leeds into the Premier League.

The Whites will be eager to see the Bees lose the Championship play-off final in order to have the chance to sign Benrahma for less than £20 million.

Dean Henderson 10/1

The Manchester United goalkeeper spent last season on loan at Sheffield United.

Henderson wants to become United's number one but is willing to move elsewhere permanently if that road is blocked.

David Brooks 12/1

David Brooks has been linked with a departure from Bournemouth after the Cherries' relegation from the top tier.

Leeds, Newcastle, Tottenham and West Ham have all been linked with the 23-year-old.

Aaron Ramsdale 12/1

Another Bournemouth player who Leeds have been linked with is Aaron Ramsdale.

Whilst this speculation dates back to March, Bournemouth's relegation may open up the door for deals with the now-Championship club.

Eberechi Eze 12/1

Leeds have been linked with Eberechi Eze as the QPR midfielder continues to take his game to another level. West Ham are said to be eyeing up the 22-year-old as well.

And below we have some of the more unlikely options.

No-chancers

John Stones 14/1

Wilfried Zaha 16/1

Gerard Deulofeu 20/1
