Kiko Casilla kept a clean sheet during Leeds United’s win against West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road.
Casilla kept a clean sheet during Leeds’s 4-0 victory over West Brom at home in the Championship.
The 32-year-old has established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper at the Whites since his move in the January transfer window.
Former Leeds striker Whelan has been impressed with the displays produced by Casilla, and believes that the Elland Road faithful has yet to see the best of the former Espanyol star.
Whelan said about Casilla on BBC Radio Leeds: “He is just so confident. When you have got a goalkeeper like that behind you, that will not be afraid to come and collect balls, crosses into the box…”
“He doesn’t flutter on the ball, panic under pressure, very calmly takes his time with the ball, he always chooses the right pass pretty much always, I don’t think we have seen the best of him either,” added Whelan.
Quality footballer
Casilla has been superb for Leeds in recent weeks, and it is clear to see why the West Yorkshire outfit signed the Spanish goalkeeper in the January transfer window.
The 32-year-old arrived at Elland Road with a strong reputation, and Leeds fans must be pleased with how the goalkeeper has performed, and just how calm and composed he is between the posts.
Leeds are second in the Championship table at the moment and are aiming to clinch automatic promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season.
