#PLStories- Leeds plan to replace #KikoCasilla with another backup for #IllanMeslier #LUFC

Leeds United will look to replace Kiko Casilla with another back-up for Illan Meslier after the Spaniard’s loan to La Liga Elche. The 34-year-old goalkeeper has played second fiddle to Meslier since his eight-match ban began in February 2020. Upon confirmation of Casilla’s exit, a statement from Leeds United read:

Leeds United statement read: “Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has joined La Liga outfit Elche CF on loan until the end of the season. The 34-year-old joined the Whites from Real Madrid in January 2019 and has made 62 appearances for the club. However, due to the fine form of Illan Meslier, Casilla found game time for the Whites limited last season and he made just five senior outings in all competitions. We wish Kiko well at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.”
