Who will be the first-choice goalkeeper at Leeds United this season?

Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that he has made a decision regarding who the first-choice goalkeeper will be this season.

Robert Green was the first-choice goalkeeper for Leeds during the 2016-17 campaign, as he featured in all 46 Championship matches.

The 37-year-old former West Ham United and Queens Park Rangers custodian, though, will face competition for his position between the posts this campaign.

Leeds signed Felix Wiedwald from Werder Bremen in the summer transfer window, and the 27-year-old goalkeeper will be determined to establish himself in the first team.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell is also in the squad, but given that he is only 20 years of age, he is going to be the third-choice goalkeeper for the Whites this season.

Leeds head coach Christiansen has revealed that he has made a decision about who the first-choice goalkeeper will be next season, but he has refused to divulge the information.

“I have made my decision but I will not say,” Christiansen told the Yorkshire Evening Post when asked who the first-choice goalkeeper will be this season.

Leeds will kick off their 2017-18 Championship campaign with an away game against Bolton Wanderers this weekend.

One suspects that whoever between Green and Wiedwald is between the posts at the Macron Stadium on Sunday afternoon will be the first-choice goalkeeper for the Whites this season.
