Leeds United Transfer: Karl Darlow Staying Put

Leeds United goalkeeper Karl Darlow is set to sign a new two-year contract, rejecting Manchester United's pursuit.

What happened?

Darlow overtook Lucas Perri to establish himself as Leeds' number one in the final stretch of last season.

He made 22 top-flight appearances, recording five clean sheets in that period. Darlow is out of contract at Leeds, which makes him an attractive option for United.

Why it matters for Leeds United

At 35, Darlow brings considerable experience and could provide not only dependable cover but also genuine competition. However, it looks like United are set to be disappointed in their pursuit of the Wales international.

According to the Daily Mail's Chris Wheeler, there is a good chance that Darlow remains at Leeds. Wheeler writes, “They are keen on Karl Darlow, but it now appears more likely that he will sign a new two-year contract at Leeds.”

What comes next?

United can also count on the services of Tom Heaton, who recently put pen to paper on an extension. Wolves and England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, who started his career at United, is another option being considered.
