Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has struggled for appearances at Elland Road recently.

According to football scout Jakub Bokiej, Leeds United are set to sign Kamil Miazek in the near future.

Leeds have offered a contract to the Polish stopper, after being impressed with his performances on trial.

Leeds have taken a first-hand look at Miazek, and decided that the 21-year-old could have a first-team future with them.

His arrival will boost Thomas Christiansen’s goalkeeping options, but it may leave Bailey Peacock-Farrell asking questions over his future.

Peacock-Farrell was handed a first-team chance at Leeds during Steve Evans’ time in charge, and he impressed when handed an opportunity.

However, the 20-year-old has slipped down the pecking order recently and did not feature at all last season.

Peacock-Farrell has also not been seen in action during this campaign to date, with both Andy Lonergan and Felix Weidwald ahead of him in the selection order.

If Miazek does arrive it just means that Peacock-Farrell faces more competition, and it may be that the youngster feels he now needs a move elsewhere, either on loan or permanently, to further his development.
