Leeds United might well have something to celebrate in the not too distance future after one Sky Sports reporter appeared to confirm that a Premier League player could soon have a medical with the club.

There are less than two weeks to go now until the Championship season begins, so if Daniel Farke can get in any last-minute signings of such a level, that has to be a good thing for the Yorkshire giants.

It’s imperative that the club hit the ground running, and that means decent results against the likes of Cardiff, Birmingham and West Brom.

Start off the season well and that should breed the confidence Farke’s charges will need to help them build up a head of steam.

With the future of goalkeeper, Illan Meslier, still unclear, it appears that the club aren’t taking any chances and are looking to acquire Newcastle United’s Karl Darlow.

At 32 years of age, the custodian has plenty of experience and would almost certainly be a calming presence for the side.

If an agreement can be reached so that he does return from Newcastle’s pre-season tour, this could be the move that Darlow has waited some years for.

It would give him the chance to be a No.1 in his own right, and get a decent number of games under his belt. It’s a signing that could be the ace up Farke’s sleeve.

  1. Instead of focusing all this time and money on a new goalie why not spend some time and a similar amout of efort on trying to get Meslier to commit his near future to staying with us after all did he not sign a six year contact. Therefore if someone wants him the asking fee should reflect his worth to us say 35 million. We really do need to stop giving our future away

  2. Have you seen Meslier over the last two seasons? He has not developed. He is worth 10 million at max. He can’t be trusted between the sticks.

    1. Because when they become good they want away like Raphina & Phillips wanted we got 100 mil for a 17 mil investment. Just a shame that utter shite was bought with that money.
