Leeds United have snapped up goalkeeper Kiko Casilla from Real Madrid on a free transfer.

The Whites have met the terms of the 18 months Casilla had on his Real Madrid contract, while also handing him a fresh one, with the shot-stopper penning a four-and-a-half-year contract at Elland Road.




Leeds had been looking for an experienced goalkeeper and have moved quickly to secure the services of the 32-year-old.

Casilla was third choice at Real Madrid and did not make an appearance for Los Blancos this season.
 


The goalkeeper joined Real Madrid in 2015 and made a total of 43 appearances for the club over the course of his stay.

Casilla will now provide competition for Leeds goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who has been the number 1 between the sticks under Marcelo Bielsa this season.
