Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Karl Darlow from Newcastle for £2m but would Spurs free agent Michel Vorm be a better option?
Leeds United are looking to the Premier League to solve their goalkeeper problem, with the Chronicle reporting they are interested in a £2m deal for Newcastle United stopper Karl Darlow.
Darlow has no guarantees of first team football at St James’ Park and could be sold to raise funds for Magpies manager Rafa Benitez, with recently relegated Swansea City also thought to be keen.
Leeds are on the hunt for a new man between the posts this summer with the Yorkshire Evening Post stating that Felix Wiedwald will be sold just a year after joining from Werder Bremen and Andy Lonergan could also leave.
Other options
While Darlow previously impressed for Newcastle in the Championship in 2016/17, there is another ‘keeper from the top flight of English football that could be available to the Whites.
That man is Michel Vorm, who as the Mirror reports will be leaving current side Tottenham Hotspur at the end of June when his contract expires.
Vorm has been backup at Spurs now for four years, but does have bags of experience from his time spent as Swansea number one and could be just what Paul Heckingbottom needs.
