Leeds United shirt numbers available to new signings this summer

Leeds United fans were told to expect a quiet transfer deadline day with regard to new arrivals and that has come to pass.

The window shuts at 11pm on Monday evening and the Whites' dealings this month have all been centered around departures, whether it is promising youngsters on loan, or out-of-favour players on permanent deals.

After securing promotion from the Championship last season, Leeds moved to bolster their ranks during the summer transfer window.

Was Raphinha a bargain according to Bielsa?

The likes of Raphinha, Rodrigo, Diego Llorente and Robin Koch were snapped up, while Illan Meslier and Helder Costa joined the club permanently after loan spells and Jack Harrison returned on loan from Manchester City.

Here, we take a look at the squad numbers currently available to the next new arrivals at Elland Road in the summer...

Number 8

The number eight shirt has been vacant since is was worn by Vurnon Anita in the 2017-18 season.

Number 12

The number 12 shirt was last allocated to Laurens De Bock during the 2018-19 campaign.

Number 16

Yosuke Ideguchi was the last player to wear the number 16 shirt for Leeds, in 2018-19.

Number 26

The number 26 shirt has been free since Liam Bridcutt wore it, between 2015 and 2019.

Number 27

Goalkeeper Jamal Blackman was given the number 27 shirt for the 2018-19 season but it has been vacant since then.

Number 28

Gaetano Berardi wore the number 28 shirt for Leeds last season. The defender remains with the club but was not allocated a squad number at the start of this term as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.

Number 29

Jean-Kevin Augustin was the last player to sport the number 29 jersey, in 2019-20.
