Illan Meslier believes Leeds United are better equipped to deal with the rigours of the Premier League after backing Jesse Marsch with a spree of summer signings. The Whites have made seven new additions since the end of last season, with young forward Sonny Perkins becoming the latest to pen a deal at Elland Road following the expiry of his contract at West Ham United.
With Marc Roca, Rasmus Kristensen, Brenden Aaronson, Tyler Adams, Darko Gyabi and Luis Sinisterra also in the bag, Leeds have moved to strengthen a number of key areas across their squad. Meslier has spent time getting to know the club’s new faces during the pre-season tour of Australia, with Leeds spending time in Gold Coast, Brisbane and Perth as they prepare for the new campaign, and the goalkeeper likes what he has seen so far.
"It’s good to have some new players, of course we have already had Kalvin (and Raphinha) leaving, but they are good players to complete the team,” Meslier said on the club’s tour Down Under. “It’s good to see some new faces in the club and in the changing room.
