Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Paris Saint-Germain want to sign Illan Meslier.

French giants PSG are looking at Leeds goalkeeper Meslier as a potential alternative to Tottenham Hotspur star Hugo Lloris and Manchester United ace David De Gea, according to The National.

The Ligue 1 club, who reached the final of the Champions League last season, are reportedly on the hunt for a new goalkeeper in the summer of 2021.

The 21-year-old is the first-choice goalkeeper at Leeds and has done well for the Whites in the Premier League this season.

The Frenchman looks calm and composed on the ball, claims crosses well, and makes important saves.

Meslier is a very young goalkeeper and is not the finished article yet, but reported interest from PSG does not come as a surprise at all.

Some Leeds fans on Twitter are clearly against the idea of the club selling Meslier, as shown below.

While some have suggested swap deals involving some of the best players of PSG, others have tried to dissuade PSG from making a move for Meslier by speaking highly of Kiko Casilla, who is the second-choice goalkeeper at Leeds.
