Inside Futbol 12/7/14
Leeds United head coach David Hockaday has insisted he is in regular contact with the club's president Massimo Cellino over new signings.
Cellino is working hard in the Italian market to strengthen Leeds, with goalkeeper Marco Silvestri already having been officially confirmed as a new addition, while defender Jonathan Rossini and midfielder Tommaso Bianchi are also joining.
And Hockaday insists he is playing a full part in the club's transfer dealings, keeping in constant contact with Cellino.
"I have identified with the president the positions that we need to strengthen the team", he told the club's site.
"We know we need to strengthen, we finished 15th last year and we have lost a lot of players.
"But that has allowed me to bring in the young players to give them a chance to spread their wings. The president is here now but we have been talking every day. Hopefully there will be more action now.
"As far as I am concerned everybody here is a Leeds United player with at least one more year remaining on their contracts.
"If we can add to what we have got and it improves the quality and the team spirit then we will have a chance."
