Jamal Blackman is reportedly set to join Leeds United on loan from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Championship club Leeds have agreed a season-long loan deal over Premier League outfit Chelsea regarding Blackman.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper, who spent the 2017-18 season on loan at Sheffield United from the Blues, is having a medical with the Whites this morning, according to the report.
Good signing for Leeds United?
It seems that Leeds are close to the signing of Blackman from Chelsea on a season-long loan deal, and it is a good move from the West Yorkshire outfit.
The former England Under-19 international – who earns £8,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is a very good goalkeeper who did well during his loan spell at United last season.
Bailey Peacock-Farrell ended the 2017-18 campaign as the first-choice goalkeeper for Leeds, but the Whites do need someone to challenge and push him next season.
Blackman is likely to start the 2018-19 season as the first-choice custodian for Leeds, but one should not be surprised if Peacock-Farrell eventually dislodges him.
Meanwhile, former Leeds midfielder Andy Couzens has urged the club’s fans on social networking site Twitter to be patient about new signings.
