Leeds United stopper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has already gone on record to state his desire for first-team football.

According to Leeds Live, Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell is expected to stay at Elland Road, even though he is set to be back-up choice.

Leeds stopper Peacock-Farrell spoke publicly about his desire for play first-team football earlier this summer.

He said to the Belfast Telegraph: “I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else out of choice, to a certain extent.

“Obviously if I’m not going to play at Leeds then I’ll have to consider my options.”

It seems that Peacock-Farrell could face being sat on Leeds bench for much of the season, as Kiko Casilla is reportedly set to head into the campaign as first choice.

However, the Northern Irish international is still expected to stick with Leeds.

That is a boost to Marcelo Bielsa’s side, as Peacock-Farrell looks a very solid covering option.

The 22-year-old has proven that he is capable of playing Championship football and was Leeds’ number one before Casilla arrived.

Casilla has not exactly looked rock solid since arriving at Leeds, but Bielsa appears to have faith in the Spaniard.

Leeds begin their campaign at the weekend when they take on Bristol City.
