Goalkeepers
After the mystery behind signing an unheralded French teenager, the subsequent rise after Kiko Casilla’s fall, the next-big-thing hype and three years of Premier League thrills and spills, the time feels right for Illan Meslier to move on. The volume of elite football behind the 23-year-old goalkeeper would suggest he should become one of the best on the continent as he approaches his peak years.
Is there still the patience at Elland Road for Meslier to continue those ups and downs with Leeds United, however? Sam Allardyce’s departure would give Meslier a fresh start with the next head coach, but the stopper’s confidence could do with a fresh environment.
