The Athletic are reporting that Leeds United Director of Football Victor Orta favours a move for Kristoffer Klaesson over Dani Cardenas and Freddie Woodman.
What’s the story?
It has been reported that Leeds are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper now.
Kiko Casilla has left Leeds for Elche on a loan deal, and the Whites need a replacement.
The Premier League club admire Newcastle United goalkeeper Woodman as well as Levante’s Cardenas.
However, the goalkeeper that Orta favours is Klaesson.
It has been reported that the Leeds Director of Football ‘holds a long-standing interest’ in Valerenga Fotball goalkeeper Klaesson.
Orta would favour a deal for the 20-year-old if the two clubs could agree on a fee.
Good signing for Leeds United?
Orta knows a quality player when he sees one, and if he favours Klaesson, then the Leeds fans should get behind it.
The 20-year-old has done well for Valerenga Fotball in Norway, and a move to Leeds could be very tempting for him.
Illan Meslier is the first-choice goalkeeper at Leeds, and Klaesson would be a good back-up to the Frenchman.
The one problem for Leeds could be that both the two senior goalkeepers would be very young.
