“Prefer to move to Leeds United than Chelsea” Leeds More likely to beat Premier League giant, Chelsea to the signing of this rare player and…..

Leeds United are reportedly more likely to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher than Premier League giants Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. According to Mark Gallagher, who writes for the Irish Daily Mail, Liverpool are more likely to sanction a move to a Championship club chasing the title, rather than a top-flight rival.

Kelleher has been linked with a move away from Liverpool, with several clubs showing interest in the 24-year-old goalkeeper. However, Gallagher believes that Leeds United could be a more likely destination for Kelleher, especially given the club’s current goalkeeping situation.

Illan Meslier has come under criticism for his recent performances, and there have been links to the Premier League and France. If Meslier were to leave Leeds United, Kelleher could be a potential replacement. Gallagher notes that the move would make sense for Leeds, who are likely to be back in the Premier League next season.

However, Graeme Bailey, a transfer expert, has claimed that Leeds United have been talked out of a move for Kelleher due to his high valuation. Liverpool are reportedly looking for £25 million for the goalkeeper, which could be a stumbling block for Leeds.

Bailey believes that Kelleher will have his pick of clubs in the summer, and it’s possible that he could choose a mid-table Premier League team or even a Champions League club like Celtic. While Leeds United may be interested in Kelleher, it seems that the club may need to look elsewhere for a new goalkeeper.

The January transfer window is always a challenging time for clubs, with few deals available and a reluctance to spend big due to financial restrictions. However, Leeds United will need to strengthen their squad if they want to achieve promotion back to the Premier League.

A full-back, a centre-back, and a No.10 are the obvious areas of improvement for Leeds, and the loan market could be a viable option. The club has already shown that they can make shrewd signings in the loan market, having brought in Connor Roberts in January.

As the transfer window approaches, Leeds United fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any potential signings. While the pursuit of Kelleher may be a long shot, the club will need to make some smart moves in the transfer market if they want to achieve their goals.
