Leeds United have been busy in this month’s transfer window and it appears that the club have secured another deal by finalising the signing of goalkeeper Kamil Miazek.

The Polish youngster, who previously played for Feyenoord, is an exciting prospect and his agency have confirmed that he has signed for Leeds, where he will go into the U23 squad.

It will be intriguing to see how Miazek develops at Leeds and it will also be interesting to assess the impact that the 21-year-old’s arrival has on the club’s other young goalkeepers.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell, for example, is very highly rated by Leeds and gained experience during a short loan spell with York City earlier this season.

In addition, Will Huffer and Harrison Male have both impressed for Leeds’ development sides this season and have previously represented England at youth level.

The signing of Miazek makes matters rather complicated as surely some of the aforementioned youngsters will be unable to succeed at Leeds in the long term.

An intriguing battle is now in prospect to see which of these youngsters, if any, will be able to eventually make the step up into the Leeds first-team, with Miazek eager to make an instant impact.
