LEEDS UNITED are keen on Newcastle\u2019s Nick Pope after missing out on Liverpool\u2019s Caoimhin Kelleher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Farke<\/a> and Elland Road chiefs are already at work in their quest to strengthen following the Championship-winning promotion campaign.<\/p>\n

Leeds are eyeing a swoop for Newcastle keeper Nick Pope\"Illan<\/a><\/p>\n

And a new goalkeeper has emerged as one of their top priorities given Illan Meslier\u2019s drop in form<\/a> at the back end of last season.<\/p>\n

They enquired about Irish ace Kelleher, 26, but he is poised to join Brentford<\/a> for \u00a318m.<\/p>\n

Now Leeds could turn to Pope, 33, and are one of several teams monitoring his situation at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n

The England<\/a> international finished the season as Eddie Howe\u2019s No.1 but Newcastle<\/a> are expected to finally end their long pursuit of Burnley\u2019s James Trafford<\/a> over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

His arrival could result in Pope heading elsewhere with a switch to Elland Road among those potentially on the cards.<\/p>\n

Pope, who won the Toon’s first trophy in 70 years this term, earned just 10 England caps before missing out on Euro 2024 through injury.<\/p>\n

Trafford, who beat Pope to Thomas Tuchel’s latest England<\/a> squad, had agreed to join Newcastle last August only for the deal not to happen.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old played a key role in Burnley\u2019s promotion to the Premier League, keeping an impressive 29 clean sheets in 45 appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Newcastle have checked on 19-year old Rennes centre back Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal who has starred for Morocco<\/a> U20s.<\/p>\n

Boudlal is yet to make his senior debut for Rennes and spent the second half of the season on loan at Ligue 2 Amiens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
