Leeds United is looking to upgrade their starting goalkeeper this summer, with Illan Meslier no longer seen as the top choice after a series of costly mistakes. Daniel Farke is eager to bring in a new number one as they make their Premier League return, and Karl Darlow is not considered a long-term option.
Reports suggest that Leeds is eyeing up Newcastle goalkeeper Pope as a potential solution to their goalkeeping woes. Pope is a proven top-flight talent and could be the answer to Leeds’ problems in that position.
Securing Pope would be a significant upgrade for Leeds, providing Farke with a reliable option in goal. The England international has been a standout performer for Newcastle in recent years, even helping them to a Carabao Cup triumph.
It will be crucial for Leeds to back their manager in the transfer market, bringing in experienced players capable of competing at the highest level. Pope could be a key asset in their bid to avoid relegation and establish themselves in the Premier League.
While a deal for Caoimhin Kelleher may not be feasible, securing Pope would be a strong move for Leeds. The fanbase will be hopeful that the club can make the right signings to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
