Leeds United reportedly want to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla in the January transfer window.
Well-known Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague has stated on Twitter that goalkeeper Kiko Casilla will join Leeds United from Real Madrid.
According to Marca, Leeds are interested in signing Casilla from Spanish and European giants Madrid in the January transfer window.
Balague, who is a well-known and well-connected Spanish football expert, has stated on Twitter that the move will go through.
The journalist has also said that 32-year-old Spain international goalkeeper Casilla – who has won La Liga once and the Champions League thrice with Madrid – is willing to move to Leeds.
Good signing for Leeds United
Bailey Peacock-Farrell is the first-choice goalkeeper at Leeds at the moment, and although the 22-year-old is very promising, the Northern Ireland international does need to be pushed.
Casilla is a very experienced goalkeeper who played well during his spell at Espanyol, and the 32-year-old could slot straight into head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s first team.
Leeds returned to winning ways in the Championship on Friday evening with a 2-0 victory over Derby County at Elland Road.
Praise for Jack Clarke
Meanwhile, former Leeds United players Ian Harte and Simon Johnson have praised Jack Clarke on Twitter for his performance for the Whites in their win against Derby, while Paudie O’Connor has expressed his delight at joining Bradford City on loan from Bielsa’s side in the January transfer window.
