Leeds United are set to sign Kiko Casilla.

Kiko Casilla looks on during the prematch warm up before the La Liga match between Sociedad Deportiva Huesca and Real Madrid at Estadio El Alcoraz on December 09, 2018 in Huesca, Spain.

Spanish newspaper AS report Kiko Casilla has passed his medical at Leeds United.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper flew to England last night and spent Wednesday at his new club.

AS report Casilla has had a successful medical and an announcement is set to be made on Thursday.

The only detail which is unclear is the length of the contract Casilla will sign. AS speculate it could run until 2021.

Casilla is being brought in to provide competition to 22-year-old goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

The Northern Ireland international has largely done well this season, but errors have crept into his game over the last two months.

Leeds are currently top of the table by four points.

Casilla could be registered in time to make the matchday squad against Stoke City at the weekend, although it is likely he will be on the bench.
