Leeds confirmed his return to the Premier League on Monday, attracting attention this season. Specifically, there is a lot of focus on improving Daniel Fark’s team, so you can avoid demoting right away.
And one obvious move Leeds is trying to do is sign a new goalkeeper. Iranian Mesley has received a lot of criticism over the past few weeks. And he was recently dropped by Fark after many famous Crangers.
Leeds doesn’t want Messlier to remain as goalkeeper for his first choice, and there’s even talk that he could be sold. So, efforts to replace him have been strengthened, but one candidate appears to have already been ruled out.
Leeds missed signing Nick Pope
According to Nufcblog, Leeds has expressed interest in Nick Pope. Nick Pope was able to replace him as Newcastle’s starting goalkeeper next season, reporting interest from James Trafford’s Carabao Cup winners. However, the report says the deal is considered “too important and difficult” for the newly declared Premier League.
So they began to set their sight elsewhere. Sam Johnston, who appears to be leaving the wolves this summer, is on the radar, but he was also interested in Angus Gunn.
The Pope has proven to be a quality goalkeeper in the Premier League over the last few years, so it’s no surprise that Leeds has shown interest in bringing him to Elland Road. However, the fact that Newcastle decides to extract as much as possible from the transaction due to the PSR situation appears to have reduced the possibility of an agreement between the two clubs.
