Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has suggested to The Yorkshire Evening Post that he wants to stay at the club next season.

Casillas joined Leeds in the January transfer window after leaving Spanish and European giants Real Madrid and was the first-choice goalkeeper for the Whites during the second half of last season.

According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 69, May 26, 2019), Casilla could leave the Championship club in England this summer (click here to read more).

According to Marca, La Liga outfit Sevilla are interested in signing the 32-year-old Spaniard this summer.

Casilla, though, has made it clear that he does not plan to leave the Elland Road outfit and wants to be at the club beyond the summer.

Casilla told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “Promotion to the Premier League is what we want from this year. I’m really happy at Leeds. The team is a good team and the family are very happy in Leeds too.”

Leeds United stay

Casillas did make a couple of mistakes for Leeds in the final months of last season, but there is no doubt that he is a very good goalkeeper whose experience will come in hand for the Whites in their quest to finish in the top two of the Championship next season.
