Leeds United are flying high in the Championship and sealed their spot back at the top of the table after a narrow victory over Bolton.
The Peacocks have been in excellent form in their quest to return to the summit of the Premier League but there is still improvements to be had, which is likely to lead Marcelo Bielsa to be active in the January transfer window.
One area that is likely to be of focus is between the sticks, where Jamal Blackman’s injury and subsequent return to Chelsea has left Bailey Peacock-Farrell battling on his own for a starting spot at Elland Road.
Further depth is required in goal and recent reports state Leeds are eyeing a move for Newcastle United’s Karl Darlow, who has fallen down the pecking order on Tyneside after the signing of Martin Dubravka in the summer.
Newcastle seem to be open to a deal and it is a piece of business that their fans are also keen to go ahead. We have gathered some of their reactions below.
He's worth at least £6 million

Sell Karl Darlow. I liked him in the Championship, but he is wasted here. Our GK Set-up is perfect without him.
Martin Dubravka – Main (at/almost prime) GK
Freddie Woodman – Young and Hungry 2nd GK
Rob Elliot – Oldest and Club Veteran 3rd GK— Robert Tennyson (@Tenno98) December 18, 2018
Sell, means Woodman can continue to learn from Martin and has a better chance of playing first team football if Dubravka needs a rest

We don’t get taken over I see dubravka heading to Europe

Imagine flogging Darlow for the same amount we paid for Dubravka? At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask…
