How do Leeds view their summer business?

"A bad day at the end of a good window."

That is the assessment of Leeds United managing director Robbie Evans, who spoke to BBC Radio Leeds and local press within 24 hours of the deadline.

He professed himself satisfied with how it panned out given the arrival of 10 players for an outlay of more than £100m since the return to the Premier League, even if moves for Feyenood's Igor Paixao and Brighton's Facundo Buonanotte did not prove successful.

"When we set out back in May, we had certain targets - key positions, key profiles and estimates of the maximum available spend to get those," he explained. "We checked all those boxes.

"We brought in all the key players and got them done early. Every player we signed is our top choice."

Despite the positivity, Evans accepted some frustration exists around the failure to sign Fulham's Harry Wilson on deadline day - and the knock-on effect of being unable to further strengthen the attack.

The Wales international seemed set to join, only for the London club to pull the plug at the 11th hour.

This inability to seal the deal mirrored earlier attempts to sign Paixao and Buonanotte, both of whom plumped instead for Champions League clubs, Marseille and Chelsea respectively.

"We thought we had the right price and we put the offer in above that price," he said. "The player was on board but his club could not get it done. We put the deal sheet in having been given some indication it could work, but they were also doing three deals at once coming in.

"Whether it was out of time or they just decided not to sell, it just didn't happen. It's a bit frustrating to have it end like it ended because that was the cherry on top for us.

"We wanted one more attacker - we didn't get him. Thankfully for us, that's why we did the overwhelming majority of our business before the last day of the window.

"We ended the window, frankly, better than I thought it could have done back in May."
