BEST SIGNING EVER;Leeds has finally seal deal for Liverpool star

For a Leeds United side flying high near the top of the Championship, there aren’t too many areas on the pitch that visibly need drastic improvement.

But Leeds fans will tell you goalkeeper is one position they can certainly improve on amid some indifferent Illan Meslier performances, and recent links to Caoimhin Kelleher will certainly have excited the Elland Road faithful.

While up to now, a move remains more an aspiration than a reality amid competition from sides competing in the Champions League, it doesn’t change the fact that Daniel Farke has evidently identified that position as one which needs improving.

We asked our FLW Leeds fan pundit Kris Smith if Kelleher would be an upgrade on Meslier if the deal happened, and he claimed that the Liverpool stopper is head and shoulders above any other name linked with a move to Elland Road.

He said: “If Leeds want to replace Meslier with Kelleher, I think they’d be drastically improving one of our major shortcomings.

“When Meslier first broke through it looked like we had one of the best young goalkeepers in the world – he was outstanding most weeks and his distibution alongside his shot-stopping was ridiculously good.

“Somehow, he’s just gone backwards from that and they’re now two weak points of his game and they’re becoming alarmingly apparent.

“It’s something Leeds need to improve on very soon if we are to be serious about our amibtions for the near future.

“I think out of realistic options Leeds could consider in 2025, Kelleher looks head and shoulders above any other players we could sign that would bring Premier League experience.

“How much he’d cost is hard to say. I think Liverpool tend to play hard ball when it comes to letting fringe players go, but regardless of that he’d be an astounding signing for Leeds if we did make it happen.”
