Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing 29-year-old Ecuadorian goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle from LDU Quito.
According to a report from BolaVip, Gonzalo Valle has attracted the attention of Leeds United, and they are hoping to make a move for the 29-year-old LDU Quito shot-stopper in the near future.
The Ecuadorian goalkeeper is on the radar of three other European teams. Leeds United will need to move quickly in order to get the deal done. The player is likely to cost around $3 million, and it remains to be seen whether Leeds can get the deal across the line. The Whites have the resources to pay the asking price from Liga de Quito.
The 29-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he could make an instant impact at the English club. Leeds United have secured promotion to the Premier League and they will want to stay in the top flight. They need to add more quality and depth to the squad to do well in the Premier League. Signing the experienced goalkeeper could prove to be a wise decision.
Replacement for Meslier?
Illan Meslier has been linked with a move away from Leeds United, and they will need to replace the Frenchman. The 25-year-old has struggled for regular game time at the English club, and he needs to move on in order to get his career back on track. Leeds United will need another reliable keeper at their disposal, and Gonzalo Valle could be the ideal replacement for the French goalkeeper.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the South American as well. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League. The South American shot-stopper is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.
The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality, and he could easily justify the investment. Leeds United have had a disappointing start to the Premier League campaign and they need to improve the squad in January.
It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right additions and fight back strongly. They will be desperate to do well in the top flight. They will not want to go back down to the EFL Championship at the end of the season.
