Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham would be a suitable replacement for Bailey Peacock-Farrell at Leeds United.
Wes Foderingham of Rangers
With Bailey Peacock-Farrell having left for Burnley, Leeds United need to sign a replacement goalkeeper, and Marcelo Bielsa’s side should look at Rangers custodian Wes Foderingham.
Foderingham lost his place to Allan McGregor in the Rangers starting lineup last season, and it is hard to see the 28-year-old goalkeeper play second fiddle to the Scotsman this season.
Experience
Foderingham is a very experienced goalkeeper who has been at Rangers since 2015 and has played over a 100 games for the Gers.
It is clear that the former England Under-19 international has not been fazed playing for a big club such as Rangers and playing in front of 50,000 fans.
Leeds have a very passionate fanbase, and the 28-year-old will not have any problem in playing in front of 30,000 fans on a regular basis.
Competition for Kiko Casilla
Kiko Casilla was the undisputed number one between the posts during the second half of last season, and the Spaniard needs competition.
Foderingham is a very good goalkeeper, and he will not come to Leeds to sit on the substitutes’ bench, and will actually push Casilla in training on a regular basis.
Availability
Given that McGregor is the first-choice goalkeeper at Rangers, Foderingham could be available for a decent price, and Leeds should make a move for him.
