With Angus Gunn reportedly set to join Southampton from Manchester City, Leeds United are claimed to be focused on Chelsea goalkeeper Jamal Blackman.
Angus Gunn was superb for Norwich City last season, and there is no surprise that Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Manchester City goalkeeper in the summer transfer window.
According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds want to sign Gunn on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club City in the summer transfer window.
Focusing on Jamal Blackman
However, with the 22-year-old goalkeeper set to join Southampton on a permanent contract for an initial transfer fee of £10 million, as reported by BBC Sport, Leeds have now made Chelsea goalkeeper Jamal Blackman their main goalkeeper target, according to The Yorkshire Evening Post.
Leeds have also reportedly failed to sign David Stockdale from Birmingham City and are now claimed to be trying to agree a loan deal with Chelsea over Blackman.
Good signing for Leeds United?
It has been reported that the 24-year-old goalkeeper, who spent the 2017-18 campaign on loan at Sheffield United, has attracted interest from abroad, but the former England Under-19 international is keen on carrying on in the Championship.
Blackman – who earns £8,000 per week as salary, accoridng to Spotrac.com – played well for United last season, and the 24-year-old would be a very good signing for Leeds for the 2018-19 campaign, as the West Yorkshire outfit plan to challenge for the Championship playoffs.
