Leeds United youngster Bailey Peacock-Farrell has been in hugely impressive form of late.

Leeds United assistant manager Jamie Clapham has suggested to the Yorkshire Evening Post that a new goalkeeper could still be signed in the summer transfer window.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell has taken over as Leeds number one in recent weeks, and the youngster has impressed.

However, Clapham has hinted that Peacock-Farrell has not yet done enough to be Leeds’ guaranteed number one next term.

He said: “At this moment, he’s got the number one jersey for the next two games. But we’re looking at all aspects before the end of the season.

“We’ve had a good assessment of the squad and the players we’ve got available, and where we want to strengthen.”

Peacock-Farrell’s form has been one of the positives to come out of Paul Heckingbottom’s time in charge so far.

The 21-year-old pulled off a wonderful stop in Leeds’ last match, to ensure that they picked up a 2-1 win over Barnsley.

Leeds also have Felix Weidwald and Andy Lonergan competing for a place in goal, but doubts over the pair’s long-term futures at Elland Road remain.

Leeds are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Norwich City, where Peacock-Farrell will be hoping to continue to impress.
