Leeds United look like they’re close to signing Kiko Casilla.
Well, it looks like Leeds United’s interest in Kiko Casilla might be very genuine.
The Daily Mail reported this week that Leeds would sign the Real Madrid goalkeeper on an 18-month deal.
United badly need the 32-year-old, with Bailey Peacock-Farrell their only fit and experienced keeper at the moment – and he isn’t even that experienced.
The Yorkshire Evening Post has reported that the Spaniard will undergo a medical with the Whites this week.
If that isn’t evidence enough then what about his girlfriend’s social media activity?
Casilla’s other half Rosa Isern appears to have followed Leeds on Instagram in probably the biggest sign yet that they are both bound for West Yorkshire.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side sit top of the Championship and it’ll be interesting if Casilla is signed in time to make his debut at Stoke.
It might be an early culture shock for the one-time Spain international, whose last senior appearance for Real was away to Sevilla on a summer’s day in May.
