da bwin： Now that the dust has settled from what was a roller-coaster of a season for Leeds United, boss Marcelo Bielsa will be looking towards where he can strengthen his side this summer ahead of another year in the Championship.
da leao： Having narrowly missed on promotion to the Premier League, it could be argued that if the Whites can keep the nucleus of their squad intact over the coming months, they will be strong favourites for the second tier title.
Yet in order to keep Leeds heading in the right direction, Bielsa must first make a definitive decision on the club’s goalkeeping issues.
Despite starting the 2018/19 campaign with Bailey Peacock-Farrell as his number one choice, the Argentine ended up losing faith in the Thorp Arch academy graduate and brought in Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid in January.
Although the Spaniard seemed to be the perfect signing on paper given his vast amount of experience in La Liga, he, unfortunately, failed to deliver for Leeds and was a complete and utter liability in their play-off defeat to Derby earlier this month.
With a conundrum on his hands heading into the upcoming campaign, Bielsa simply has to consider offering Peacock-Farrell another chance to impress as he didn’t do too much wrong, barring a couple of errors, during his 28 Championship appearances last season.
According to Football Insider, the Northern Ireland international is on the verge of agreeing a new deal with Leeds which will extend his stay at Elland Road for the foreseeable future.
If this is indeed true, it is imperative that Peacock-Farrell makes the step up required over the coming months to get himself in the best shape possible to help launch a sustained push for promotion.
Still only 22-years-old, the shot-stopper still has plenty of time left in his career to fulfil his potential yet the only way that will be able to do just that is by playing regular first-team football.
What do you think Leeds fans? Should Bielsa give Peacock-Farrell another chance to impress next season? Or would it be more beneficial for the Argentine to bring in a keeper when the transfer window opens in July? Get in touch below.
