Leeds United manager Daniel Farke says he is “calm” about the club’s recruitment prospects this summer.
With just over two weeks to go until the transfer window closes, Leeds’ window has seen big-name departures including Archie Gray and Crysensio Summerville.
But Farke said he is hopeful of some signings before the window closes on Friday, August 30.
“Yes, totally calm. There is no panic,” said Farke.
“We have a very good group. We can’t spend a fortune and we need quality, not just numbers.
“We are being careful because we have a lively group, a united group. A new hire needs to meet all the requirements.”
Leeds needed a 95th-minute equalizer from Brenden Aaronson to salvage a 3-3 draw against newly-promoted Portsmouth in Saturday’s league opener.
“They [new signings] You have to have quality, but also a good mentality about the same importance. It needs to be a deal where we are still in charge, even if it is a loan,” the German added.
“You need to be patient, but the group is strong. I have full confidence in our owners, we’ll see what happens.”
Farke confirmed his interest in signing players on loan from a Premier League team, but added that he preferred permanent contracts.
“If you ask me what is better, I will always say permanent because the player is fully committed and 100% our player and we will receive the reward.
“The loan market can be complicated.”
