Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier has been revealed to rank in the bottom half of shot-stoppers for Premier League clubs outside of the 'Big Six'.
The Whites star has fuelled transfer rumours about him leaving Elland Road in recent days, claiming that he understands that he can't perform poorly if he wants other teams to 'come looking for him'.
However, while some might say that the star is one of the reasons Leeds have a decent chance at staying in the Premier League amid their current relegation battle, it would appear as though the Frenchman hasn't been as good in between the sticks as others this season.

In a tweet by TheOther14, they revealed that Meslier's save percentage is actually ranked 10th out of 15 goalkeepers overall, with his save percentages in two of the three categories much lower than some of his relegation rivals.
Meslier has only saved 62% of shots from inside his own penalty area and only 81% of shots from outside of his penalty area, both of which puts him 10th out of 15 again.
His one shining stat, however, is his save percentage within his own six-yard box. In that category, he ranks second out of all goalkeepers with 50%, only behind West Ham's Lukasz Fabianski who sits on a ridiculous 67%.
With the Whites in their second consecutive relegation battle, they'll need the 23-year-old to truly bump up those numbers in order to secure Premier League survival.
