Leeds United is currently in the process of evaluating potential goalkeepers to serve as an understudy for Karl Darlow. Following recent squad assessments, the club has drawn up a shortlist of targets to ensure they have adequate cover in the goalkeeping department for the upcoming season.

While the club has not officially confirmed the names on the list, the search reflects a strategic move to strengthen the bench. The need for a reliable backup is viewed as a priority to mitigate the risk of injuries or fatigue during a demanding campaign. The club is expected to move forward with formal discussions once they have finalized their preferred options from the current shortlist. No specific names have been publicly verified by the club at this stage, and negotiations remain in the preliminary phases.
