Leeds goalkeeper has expressed his desire to play.
Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has spoken of his desire to play regularly, or leave the club on loan.
The youngster was dropped last season after the Whites signed Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid.
Peacock-Farrell told the Yorkshire Post: “When you look at the stature of Leeds, the level of club that it is, you can’t get anywhere better to play. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else out of choice, to a certain extent.
“Obviously if I’m not going to play at Leeds then I’ll have to consider my options.”
Peacock-Farrell is on international duty with Northern Ireland, where he is the country’s number one.
That in itself is a big achievement at the age of just 22-years-old.
A desire to reach the top in his profession is driving Peacock-Farrell on, but he wouldn’t be blamed for feeling bitter too.
His replacement dropped a clanger in the play-offs which let Derby back into their semi-final, and ended up costing the Whites their last shot at promotion.
It was a bigger mistake than any which Peacock-Farrell had made for Leeds.
The club showed a lack of faith in him, and he might well feel that he doesn’t owe them his unconditional loyalty as a result.
Leeds have a big decision to make in goal this season, whether to stick with Casilla, bring Peacock-Farrell back in as number one, or sign a new goalkeeper. It’s a familiar dilemma to Leeds fans.
