Leeds United’s search for a new goalkeeper may be nearing its end, as reports suggest the club is in talks with Karl Darlow from Newcastle United. The 32-year-old hasn’t been playing much for Newcastle, so a move to Leeds would make sense for both him and the club.
Darlow has previously spent time on loan at Championship side Hull City. By looking to keep Darlow in the Championship, Leeds are preparing for life in the second tier of English football next season. The current goalkeeper of Leeds, Illan Meslier, is expected to leave Elland Road, which is why it is urgently necessary to find a replacement.
While no deal has been announced yet, the talks are a promising sign for Leeds supporters who are hoping for a strong squad to secure promotion next season. With the possibility of signing Darlow, they can rest easy knowing that the team has enough depth and skill in the goalkeeper department – an essential component of a successful team.
