Kiko Casilla is staying at Leeds United and will be the first-choice goalkeeper for the Championship club.

With Bailey Peacock-Farrell having joined Premier League club Burnley in the summer transfer window, Casilla is now the undisputed number one goalkeeper for Leeds.

The Spaniard joined the Whites in the January transfer window after leaving Spanish and European giants Real Madrid.

The 32-year-old was the first-choice custodian under Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa during the second half of last season.

The former Espanyol goalkeeper, though, did make a couple of mistakes, and his end to the 2019-20 campaign was far from great.

According to Marca, La Liga outfit Sevilla are interested in Casilla, but the Spaniard has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that he wants to stay at Leeds.

Casilla has said that he and his family feel very settled in England and is targeting promotion to the Premier League, as quoted in The Yorkshire Evening Post.

Leeds fans have responded to the goalkeeper’s comments and have urged him to stay on his line and not come out unnecessarily, as shown in the following posts on Twitter.
