Bailey Peacock-Farrell played for Leeds United in their 2-1 defeat to Stoke City at the weekend.
The signing of Kiko Casilla on a free transfer has heaped pressure on Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
Peacock-Farrell has been the first-choice goalkeeper for Leeds so far this season, and there is no doubt that the 22-year-old is a very talented and promising young player.
Although the Northern Ireland international goalkeeper has done well overall, there have been errors from the 22-year-old and instances when he could have done between.
Casilla has joined Leeds on a free transfer following his departure from Real Madrid, and the 32-year-old will be aiming to establish himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
Peacock-Farrell is under pressure to hold onto his place, and former Leeds striker Noel Whelan has positive words about the youngster.
Whelan was pleased with the performance of the 22-year-old in goal during the Whites’ 2-1 defeat at the hands of Stoke City away from home at the bet365 Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Whelan said on BBC Radio Leeds about the performance of Peacock-Farrell against Stoke: “When he did have things to do, I thought he carried the man very well. The one-on-one with Afobe.
“I don’t think he could do too much about the goals, to be honest with you, but when he was called upon, with the free kick in the first half, I think he did okay.”
