Daniel Farke may find himself in a tricky situation as he readies his Leeds squad for the upcoming season. Despite already making four signings in preparation for their return to the Premier League, the team must continue to strengthen in order to increase their chances of survival in the top flight.
Leeds is actively pursuing Anton Stach from Hoffenheim and has shown interest in potential signings such as Jeremie Boga and Nikola Krstovic. However, their pursuit of Marco Bizot from Brest to address their goalkeeping issues seems to have hit a roadblock, as the player is now on the verge of joining Aston Villa instead.
With Leeds missing out on their primary goalkeeping targets and facing setbacks in other areas, Farke may find himself in an uncomfortable position. The decision to drop Illan Meslier in favor of Karl Darlow towards the end of last season indicates a lack of trust in the French goalkeeper, leaving Leeds in need of a reliable shot-stopper to compete in the Premier League.
Leeds cannot afford to turn back to Meslier, whose inconsistencies could jeopardize their chances of survival in the top flight. As the opening league game against Everton draws near, Farke must address the goalkeeping situation swiftly to avoid a challenging scenario involving the 25-year-old.
