Report: Leeds United set to sanction Illan Meslier deal

, Leeds United have made a decision on goalkeeper Illan Meslier. The Whites are set to sanction a €5.5million (£5million) summer deal for the young goalkeeper.

Meslier joined Leeds on loan from Lorient. There was a clause in the contract that Leeds will have to sign him permanently if they secure promotion to the Premier League.

However, there is a genuine fear that the season could be scrapped due to COVID-19 outbreak. And in that case, Leeds may not go up if the season is declared null and void.

However, irrespective of what happens in the league, Leeds have made a decision to sign Meslier permanently.
