Leeds United look set to be in the market for a new experienced backup goalkeeper this summer. Illan Meslier is still very much the club’s number one, with the young Frenchman starting every game in all competitions last season.
But after losing Kiko Casilla in the summer, Leeds opted to go down the route of a youthful backup – as they brought in Norwegian shot-stopper Kristoffer Klaesson. Klaesson took a while to settle in at Elland Road but seemed to show signs of improvements during the second half of the season, particularly after his debut from the bench against Wolves.
However, in order for Klaesson to become first team ready, a loan move away could be what is needed this summer. For that reason, Leeds will need to recruit a new number two – which they reportedly looked at in January.
