Andy Couzens has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Leeds United signing former Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla.

Casilla has joined Leeds in the January transfer window on a free after leaving Spanish and European giants Real Madrid.

The 32-year-old goalkeeper has moved to the Championship club on a four-and-a-half-year contract.

Former Leeds midfielder Couzens has taken to Twitter to express his delight at the Whites landing the Spain international.

Couzens has also said that Leeds goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell will have someone with experience to learn from.

Good signing for Leeds United

Peacock-Farrell is a good goalkeeper, but the 22-year-old Northern Ireland international does need to be pushed.

Casilla was a big success during his time at Espanyol, and having played for arguably the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid, he will have no problem whatsoever in playing for Leeds in front of a passionate Elland Road crowd.

Leeds are going strong in the Championship at the moment and could end up in the top two of the league this season.
