All eight of Leeds United’s summer signings will have a part to play this season but some may have to be more patient than others.
Leeds were forced to undergo considerably more of a rebuild than had been expected at the beginning of the window, but in the end, will be satisfied with their work.
Joe Rodon, Jayden Bogle and Manor Solomon have not taken long to establish themselves in Daniel Farke‘s strongest XI, though the former was always going to do so after being on loan last season.
Largie Ramazani and Ao Tanaka are almost certain to follow them into Leeds’ best team in the coming weeks, while Isaac Schmidt may have to wait a little longer due to the competition at full-back.
Alex Cairns has been brought in for his off-field presence in the goalkeeping department, but the case of Joe Rothwell is a little more curious.
Why Joe Rothwell could be asking questions on Leeds move
Rothwell was one of the earlier signings at Leeds in the summer as he joined on a season-long-loan from Bournemouth even before the first pre-season friendly at Harrogate Town.
In theory, a full pre-season should really have proved beneficial for Rothwell to really stake a claim for a place in the team, but he has been unable to do so in the opening month of the campaign.
Rothwell has played a total of just 51 minutes in the league so far, with only six of those coming in the last two matches against Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City.
