Leeds United has moved closer to securing the signature of Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher as they search for a replacement for Illan Meslier.
The Irish goalkeeper has impressed during his time as Alisson’s understudy at Anfield and is now seeking regular first-team football. Leeds are eager to add Premier League quality to their squad and Kelleher’s proven talent makes him a perfect fit for the Whites.
Reports suggest that Leeds have made an inquiry about Kelleher, but face competition from Brentford and West Ham. The Irish Times claims that Kelleher wants to leave Liverpool with the imminent arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
Securing Kelleher would be a crucial move for Leeds, as his experience and quality could be a game-changer for them. His performances in key cup finals, as well as his strong distribution skills, make him an attractive option for Daniel Farke’s side.
The deal for Kelleher is within reach for Leeds, with a reported cost of around £20million. If they can fend off competition from other clubs, bringing in Kelleher could be a significant boost for Leeds as they aim to strengthen their squad.
