the summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper has been capped by Ukraine four times, and looks destined for a move to one of Europe\u2019s elite leagues in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/managers\/daniel-farke\/\">Daniel Farke<\/a> hasn\u2019t had a smooth ride with goalkeepers while at Elland Road, and it looks as though Adam Underwood could be tasked with finding another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Illan Meslier started last season as the number one, but is now left stuck in the academy and ready to leave LS11 once his contract expires in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leaves Karl Darlow, who is also out of contract, and Lucas Perri, the summer signing from Lyon, who hasn\u2019t performed as expected at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/leeds-united\/transfers\/\">Leeds are still in the market<\/a>, and it looks like Riznyk could be their man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udea8

Whites source<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leeds start to throw money at transfers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Leeds sitting on 40 points in the Premier League, many believe they are already safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another win over Burnley on Friday is still likely needed, given that they are six points ahead of Tottenham, with Spurs still to play in their final four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Leeds vs Burnley all-time

Shakhtar keeper, Riznyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The online source has over 3,000 followers and is backed by some reliable journalists in the field, with no response shared from the management of Shakhtar as of yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens in the goalkeeper department at Elland Road?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first domino piece to fall into place will be Meslier leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been a rough couple of years for the Frenchman, who will leave with well-wishes from the fans, given the number of years he has spent at Elland Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

stats\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Breaking Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it will be interesting to see what happens with Perri and Darlow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would expect that the Wales international is in line for a new contract given his performances, but Leeds are also surely on the lookout for a big-name number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riznyk isn\u2019t exactly that, and many would likely prefer Darlow to stick in his place over that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/leeds-united\/leeds-united-transfers\/leeds-united-have-no-guarantee-over-new-goalkeeper-as-psr-issues-prevent-lucas-perri-sale\/\">Perri has also attracted interest away from West Yorkshire<\/a>, so much may depend on what happens with those two options once the window officially opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds
