​Leeds planning to sign Meslier back-up after Casilla loan

Leeds United are set to replace goalkeeper Kiko Casilla with another number two, after the former's departure to Elche on loan.

The 34-year-old has secured a one year move to the La Liga outfit as he seeks regular first team football.

And according to Leeds Live, Leeds chief Victor Orta will now go through his list of targets to secure another second choice keeper for manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Illan Meslier is the no.1 keeper at Leeds, while Elia Caprile and Dani van den Heuvel are the remaining senior shot stoppers.

Casilla would be happy to sign permanently for Elche if they avoid relegation at the end of the coming season.
