Leeds have decisions to make regarding the goalkeeping position.
Leeds United were dealt a serious blow last week when Jamal Blackman suffered a broken leg in an under-23 game.
The goalkeeper had seemed poised to challenge Bailey Peacock-Farrell for a first team place after a series of underwhelming displays by the Northern Irishman.
Peacock-Farrell’s back up is now Polish goalkeeper Kamil Miazek, who has never played a first team match.
This leaves Leeds in a position of potentially considering free agents.
Unfortunately for the Whites, pickings are slim.
Potentially the best fit is 27-year-old stopper Jake Kean.
Unlike Miazek, Kean has 130 first team appearances to his name in English football, including one in the Premier League for Blackburn Rovers.
He is currently a free agent after two years at Sheffield Wednesday, where he was third choice.
He did not play a game for the Owls, instead being sent out on loan to Mansfield and then Grimsby Town.
Kean has played for 11 teams during his career so far, and was also a back up for Norwich City in the Premier League.
Leeds would only need him as a back-up, and perhaps only until January.
His experience could be invaluable rather than relying on a young player who has never played in English football. He may even help Peacock-Farrell out a bit.
There are other free agents out there, but none with the experience Kean possesses and the former Derby trainee could be the right fit for what Leeds require right now to steady them through a potentially challenging period.
