Leeds United are flying high in the Championship under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa but there is still work to be done if they are to earn promotion to the Premier League.
One major problem for the Peacocks this season has been the injuries that have ravaged their squad, with the title-chasers lacking significant depth between the sticks after seeing Jamal Blackman return to Chelsea prematurely after breaking his leg.
That left Bailey Peacock-Farrell as the only senior goalkeeper within the squad and, with some fans being critical of their first-choice stopper, it is expected that Bielsa will dip into the market in January to bolster his ranks.
According to reports, Sheffield Wednesday outcast Kieren Westwood is being lined-up by Leeds for a move in January that would see him drafted across Yorkshire – and many fans on social media were delighted at the suggestion.
We have gathered some of their comments below.

Good signing , was hoping we would sign him when we were linked with him when he moved from Carlisle. Better late than never though.
