Leeds United are really short in the goalkeeping department as things stand.

Leeds United should move for Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood on an emergency loan.

Leeds are very short of options in net ahead of their clash with Bristol City this weekend.

With Jamal Blackman and Bailey Peacock-Farrell both suffering injuries, Marcelo Bielsa looks likely to be forced into handing Kamil Miazek a debut.

But Leeds could solve their goalkeeping options by taking Westwood on loan from their local neighbours.

Leeds are free to sign players on emergency loan deals from Championship clubs, and the Wednesday man could come to their rescue.

Wednesday have decided not to pick Westwood this season, with Cameron Dawson taking the spot in between the sticks.

But Westwood has proven time and time again that he is a very capable goalkeeper at Championship level.

And Leeds could benefit from asking their Yorkshire rivals for a favour, as Westwood could solve Bielsa’s biggest problem at Elland Road currently.
