Leeds Super Fans buzzing with Freddie Woodman links
This is part of a regular series from our panel of Leeds United Super Fans. Each week, Super Fans from our Leeds Insider Facebook page will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around Elland Road.
Leeds United finally cut ties with Kiko Casilla this week as his spell at Elland Road looks destined to crash to an end.
The Spaniard has joined La Liga side Elche on loan until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent.
All eyes have now switched to Victor Orta, who has hit overdrive on his search for a replacement already.
The Yorkshire Evening Post shared a major update on Tuesday, with three goalkeepers on the shortlist.
Talks were held yesterday too, as Freddie Woodman, Dani Cardenas and Kristoffer Klaessons were linked with the club.
Woodman is currently at Newcastle in the Premier League but has struggled to get anywhere near their first team in recent years.
Having shined at international youth level for England, he has continued that form on loan at Swansea for the past couple of seasons.
Despite reports of a cash offer, the keeper looked set to join Bournemouth on loan instead until Martin Dubravka picked up an injury.
We asked our esteemed panel of Super Fans over on Facebook if they would be happy with any proposed move for the Englishman, and the response was overwhelming.
It is clear that the majority of Leeds fans would be delighted with that piece of business should it be concluded, as talks look set to drag on for the next two weeks.
Here’s what they said…
Orta is said to want to conclude a deal for a new goalkeeper before the first pre-season friendly at the end of the month.
That leaves just below two weeks to get this done, and based on this reaction, some Whites fans are set to be disappointed over Woodman.
