Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has suggested he wants to play next season.

Leeds United fans have suggested that Bailey Peacock-Farrell should leave, after his comments to Sky Sports.

Peacock-Farrell has hinted that he could look to leave Leeds, unless he is promised more game time by Marcelo Bielsa.

The Northern Ireland international was demoted to second choice last season, after the arrival of Kiko Casilla in January.

And Peacock-Farrell said: “If I stay at Leeds I’ll be staying at Leeds to play. The two scenarios would probably be I’m staying at Leeds and I’m playing or I’ll have to be elsewhere I think.”

The comments have not been taken very well by Leeds supporters, who feel that the youngster has stepped out of line.

Whether Bielsa will look to put Peacock-Farrell back in goal at Leeds next term remains to be seen.

Casilla has not exactly been convincing since moving to Elland Road, and he had a nightmare in the play offs.

The Spaniard was all at sea against Derby County, meaning he has a lot of doubters to win over at Leeds now.

If Peacock-Farrell was made available for transfer, it is unlikely that he would struggle to find another suitor, given his obvious potential.
