Leeds United are expecting a quiet final day of the transfer window but the club have outlined they are still open to additions up until deadline hour.

Daniel Farke has outlined his criteria of only wanting players who possess the required quality, are of good character and have an affordable price tag. He is not prepared to bring in numbers for the sake of it and will only jump for a player if he believes they will improve the team.

He identified three areas that could be bolstered this window; striker, number 10 and centre-back. It is very likely that Leeds do not acquire anyone before the window closes tonight. Technically though, while it is still open, possibilities remain.

Cameron Archer

The only slim chance Leeds seem to have in acquiring anyone, and something significant would have to move from Southampton's end. The Saints are standing firm over Cameron Archer, and United do not expect him to be allowed to leave before deadline hour. Manager Ivan Juric said last week that he does not believe the attacker will exit.

Archer is Southampton's top scorer with five goals but has started just two of his six matches under his new manager, albeit was only left out of the squad against Ipswich on Saturday due to injury. United have said they will remain awake to the situation in case anything changes, but this doesn't look likely.

Jack Harrison

Harrison is currently on loan at Everton but has started just one of his four games under returning new boss David Moyes. In his first start, he was taken off before the hour mark and he failed to come off the bench in the next two matches.

Fulham have now been linked with a potential move for Harrison before the window closes - although, as of Sunday evening, Leeds had received no contact from the Cottagers. With the window still live for another few hours, anything could happen but as of this afternoon, the situation had not altered and might not do for the rest of the day.

Jeremiah Mullen

Leeds Under-21 centre-back Jeremiah Mullen was in talks to complete a permanent move to Scottish Championship club Dunfermline this morning. It appeared as though talks may have stumbled but club sources suggest that a deal is back on.

Mullins, who has yet to make his senior debut for Leeds but enjoyed a loan stint at Inverness Caledonian Thistle last season, is out of contract this summer. The move to Scotland could be completed this evening.
