According to a report by TEAMtalk, Leeds United are plotting an audacious move for 26-year-old Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. However, the Republic of Ireland international is keen on joining a club that can offer UEFA Champions League football.
Kelleher has been very impressive for Liverpool in recent seasons despite not getting regular game time. The Irishman has proven his worth every time he has been called upon and he has helped Liverpool win cup competitions.
The player has had ample game time this season because of Alisson Becker’s injury woes, and he has been outstanding for Liverpool. Naturally, clubs are keen on securing his signature, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Kelleher has been linked with top clubs
The Republic of Ireland international has been linked with clubs like Chelsea in recent months. The Blues might be able to offer him UEFA Champions League football next season, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will be fully aware of the fact that they might not be able to hold on to the player for the long run. He is likely to push for an exit in search of regular playing time. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for most teams in the Premier League, and top clubs are likely to be keen on him. If they can sign him for a reasonable amount of money, the deal could look like a master stroke in the long term. Meanwhile, Leeds United might need a miracle to land him.
