With Kiko Casilla completing his move to La Liga outfit Elche a few days ago, the Whites are now left with the young Frenchman as their only stopper with any kind of meaningful first team experience, and the need to address that shortcoming is obvious.

Earlier in the week, we brought you the news that Leeds have drawn up a three-man shortlist for the position, with targets including Newcastle United’s Freddie Woodman, Levante’s Daniel Cardenas, and young Norwegian prospect Kristoffer Klaesson.

Elsewhere, reports reports have emerged suggesting Leif Davis is on the verge of a loan move to Bournemouth.

The Cherries enquired just a few months ago about taking the left-back on a permanent deal, but it is not yet decided for definite that he will depart, temporarily or otherwise.
