Leeds United desperately need to sign a new goalkeeper.
Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell’s form has taken a sharp downturn in form over the past fortnight.
It has left the club with surely no choice, but to sign a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window.
Leeds are in a great position, top of the table, but they have seen their lead cut to just two points.
The Whites conceded four against Nottingham Forest, and have shipped 10 goals in their last four games.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa admitted he was ready to drop Peacock-Farrell in November, before loanee Jamal Blackman got injured.
Perhaps that is playing on the youngster’s mind, but he bounced back well initially after this, saving a penalty against Reading.
Since then he has failed to kick on, and has been at fault for goals against Villa and Forest.
Mistakes are becoming routine, and expected, and Leeds cannot hinge their promotion hopes on a goalkeeper who no longer appears to be ready.
Leeds have an opportunity to sign a new player now the transfer window has opened.
It’s now become a matter of urgency.
