Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club before the January transfer window closes.
According to a report from RMCsport, the 22-year-old French goalkeeper is a target for German champions Bayern Munich, who are looking for a long-term replacement for club legend Manuel Neuer. Meanwhile, Premier League teams Newcastle United and Chelsea have also joined the race.
Meslier has proven to be a capable goalkeeper in the Premier League and it’s no surprise that his performances have drawn the attention of Newcastle and Chelsea. The Magpies could definitely use a top quality goalie and Meslier could figure out their goalie position for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are expected to lose Edouard Mendy at the end of the season and the Frenchman could be his replacement at Stamford Bridge.
