Former Leeds United star David Norris has claimed Daniel Farke is “considering other options” as people at the club begin to lose faith in Meslier in the evening.
The French goalkeeper was partly to blame as Brad Potts opened the scoring for Preston North End in a 1-1 draw at Deepdale on Saturday. It was one of several high-profile mistakes during the first half of the 2024/25 campaign and it has put the 24-year-old’s position in jeopardy.
talking ITV Leeds NewsFormer Leeds star David Norris has claimed that people at the Yorkshire club are no longer convinced of Meslier, who has been the Elland Road number one since 2019.
“I think Meslier has started to look good in recent games, but the people I’ve spoken to who follow Leeds more closely are no longer convinced,” said the pundit.
“Farke is likely to be looking at other options now. He has been too inconsistent and cost the club points this season. They just don’t seem to have the confidence in Meslier that they once had.”
The Liverpool star could be the perfect replacement for Illan Meslier at Leeds
Leeds are currently second in the Championship table, three points behind league leaders Sheffield United after 21 games. Farke’s side are strong contenders to secure automatic promotion and if they do, it could help the Yorkshire club land a better goalkeeper next summer.
Liverpool star Caoimhin Kelleher would be a great option for Leeds as the Ireland international is expected to leave Anfield in 2025.
Caoimhin Kelleher has received plenty of plaudits this season for his displays at Liverpool
Kelleher wants to become the number one goalkeeper and that is highly unlikely to happen at Liverpool given the presence of Alisson Becker and the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili next summer.
The Irishman has proven himself to be a top-class goalkeeper once again this season and the 26-year-old would be a great option for Farke’s side if they win promotion to England’s top flight.
