Leeds United<\/strong><\/a> are reportedly interested in signing LDU Quito<\/strong><\/a> goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle.<\/p>\n

The Whites’ 23-game unbeaten run across all competitions at Elland Road came to a sobering end on Saturday afternoon, when they were defeated 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n

Following Mathys Tel’s opener for the visitors, it appeared that Noah Okafor had sealed a point for Leeds, who eventually conceded another to Mohamed Kudus in the second half.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Daniel Farke<\/strong><\/a>‘s side have made a relatively bright start to their return to the Premier League and sit four points above the drop zone.<\/p>\n

After the conclusion of the second international break of the 2025-26 campaign, Leeds visit the base of relegation-threatened Burnley.<\/p>\n

Leeds want South American goalkeeper?<\/p>\n

According to South American outlet BolaVip<\/a>, Leeds are casting their scouting net far and wide as they hunt down a new shot-stopper.<\/p>\n

The report claims that the newly-promoted Whites are one of four teams interested in securing the services of LDU Quito goalkeeper Valle.<\/p>\n

As well as the Premier League outfit, it is understood that Turkish giants Fenerbahce<\/strong><\/a> are also keen on signing up the 29-year-old player.<\/p>\n

There is additionally said to be interest from the Brazilian Serie A, with Fortaleza<\/strong><\/a> and Sao Paulo<\/strong><\/a> eyeing up respective swoops for Valle.<\/p>\n

It is believed that LDU Quito are asking for \u00a32.2m for the services of the ‘keeper – a fee that Leeds are likely to cough up with no issue.<\/p>\n

Leeds’ goalkeeping department<\/p>\n

For the vast majority of the 2024-25 promotion campaign in the Championship, Illan Meslier<\/strong><\/a> was the man in between the sticks for Leeds.<\/p>\n

However, after a couple of high-profile mistakes, the Frenchman lost his place in the Elland Road XI to Englishman Karl Darlow<\/strong><\/a>, with the 25-year-old yet to recover.<\/p>\n

Meslier is currently surplus to requirements in Farke’s squad and could find a way out of the club during the upcoming winter transfer window.<\/p>\n
