Elland Road manager Daniel Farke' s position has still been under scrutiny. But club chiefs are now expected to back the German - including with a hefty transfer budget. The German will reportedly be handed up to £100million to spend this summer. to come in between the sticks. Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher was understood to be on the Whites' radar. But Brentford won the race for the Irishman on a deal potentially worth £18million. 2 It follows concern over a dip in form for Leeds stopper Illan Meslier in recent months. Meanwhile, Elland Road legend Kalvin Phillips is being linked with a return to his hometown club.

But for now he is recovering from Achilles surgery that could rule him out until August.
