Alex Bruce impressed with Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier

Football Insider.

The former Leeds defender has been impressed with how the 20-year-old goalkeeper has risen to the challenge.

The Frenchman, signed on loan from Lorient in the summer of 2019, has been playing for the first team due to the ban on Kiko Casilla.

The France Under-20 international has been playing well for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, and Bruce has been impressed.

Bruce told Football Insider about Meslier: “I thought Meslier was alright, I watched him against Huddersfield, he came into the team, he didn’t have much to do to be honest but everything that I did see impressed me.
