‘This is a strong signing’ – Leeds United looking to finalise PL player agreement: The verdict

Leeds United are looking to secure a loan agreement with Chelsea for goalkeeper Jamal Blackman, with Leeds’ hopes of signing Angus Gunn now out of the picture, reports the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Is Blackman a good acquisition for Leeds? Should they be looking elsewhere for goalkeepers?

We discuss…

Jay Williams

This is a strong signing.

Leeds definitely needed to strengthen in goal and Blackman was one of the best goalkeepers in the division last season.

He is a perfect short-term solution between the sticks and it can give Bailey Peacock-Farrell one more year before he is fully ready to assume permanent duties.

Gary Hutchinson

It’s not just the right decision, but it is a vital one.

Leeds need two things right now; a keeper and a morale boosting new deal.

It’s been a tough week at Elland Road and it’s only Tuesday. Signing Blackman might ease the pressure a bit.

Alfie Burns

He’s the right man to bring in alongside Peacock-Farrell.

The two don’t have much experience, but together will drive each other on throughout the season.

For me, it’s the right move.

George Dagless

Blackman would be a fine signing.

He knows the league well and was one of the better stoppers in it last season.

He’ll be looking to quickly impose himself if he arrives.
