We\u2019ll see how that one pans out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leeds are confident they will offload Illan Meslier<\/p>\n<p>Of course, after bringing Perri in from Ligue 1, Leeds want to sell <a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/topic\/illan-meslier\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Illan Meslier<\/a>, a goalkeeper who\u2019s failed to reach the level required in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>In fairness, Perri wasn\u2019t brilliant against Arsenal either, but there\u2019s reason to believe he can help Leeds stay up.<\/p>\n<p>But even if Leeds are yet to sell Meslier, there\u2019s confidence behind the scenes that an exit will be secured.<\/p>\n<p>Bailey continued: \u201cMeslier is one of the players on PSG\u2019s radar as a potential number two if they lose Donnarumma. It\u2019s a possibility, and he\u2019d be a pretty good fit there. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeeds are confident about getting him out, but he\u2019s on big wages, especially with them going back up again. It\u2019s not easy to move him on because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/leeds-united-told-theyve-just-made-a-big-transfer-error-fans-are-not-going-to-get-excited\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jeff Stelling criticised a Leeds signing<\/a> recently, but it\u2019s clear that the club are moving in the right direction under the 49ers.<\/p>\n<p>And Farke does now have a squad capable of surviving in the top flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TBR Football understands that Leeds United are still hoping to make two more attacking signings after their tenth&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95933,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[47371,1725,218,9257,2240,13302,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-95932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-emiliano-buendia","tag-english-premier-league","tag-football","tag-illan-meslier","tag-leeds-united","tag-manor-solomon","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
