After clinching his move, Casilla said his goodbyes to his Real teammates on social media.

He also had a separate post for fans of his new club.

Casilla wrote that he is ‘proud’ to join the club and is ready for the ‘amazing challenge’ which lies ahead.

Casilla should be in the squad to take on Stoke City this weekend.

He might take a little while to get up to speed and adjust to English football and will probably begin on the bench.

As soon as Leeds feel he is ready, expect him to replace Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
