Leeds are keeping an eye on Nyland
“They knew they needed a new goalkeeper and scouts have been following some of their targets, while they will also be following the World Cup.
“Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland has had a great tournament so far and I’d be very surprised if they weren’t looking at him.
“If he can perform for Leeds the way he has performed for Norway so far, he would be a huge upgrade on their current options and they could certainly do a lot worse.
“His age probably isn’t ideal, he wouldn’t be a future signing, but on a free transfer it’s definitely something worth exploring.”
It’s no secret that they need more quality in the goalkeeping department. Karl Darlov is at the end of his career and Ilan Meslier left the club after the end of his contract.

Orjan Nyland could be a beneficial addition
Leeds United need to invest in a reliable goalkeeper and Nyland could prove to be an exceptional signing. He performs at a high level at the World Cup. He has the quality to succeed in the Premier League as well. However, the Nyland 35 will only be a short-term purchase.
The possibility of a move to England will be interesting for him at this stage of his career. Convincing the player to join the club will not be a big task. In the past, he played for Aston Villa.
Also, signing a quality and experienced player on a free agent can be a masterstroke.
Leeds need to improve in several areas of the squad and signing a quality goalkeeper like him on a free will allow them to invest in other areas as well.
It remains to be seen how the situation will develop over the next few weeks.
