Leeds fans have been left drooling over Illan Meslier following his display for the club’s U23 side on Monday afternoon.

In a game that saw Tyler Roberts return from injury, the French goalkeeper was in fine form as he made a number of impressive saves to ensure Leeds drew the game 0-0.

A highlight reel shows him making two sprawling stops as well as denying a penalty.

Consequently, a host of supporters were quick to laud his performance as one described the teenager as class.

A fellow fan claimed the 19-year-old was already a better shot-stopper than Kiko Casilla whilst one hailed his ability to come out for crosses.

Meslier arrived from Lorient in the summer on loan but is yet to play for the first team. He has found himself on the bench but didn’t even receive minutes in the Carabao Cup.

Instead he’s had to settle for game time in the U23s ahead of a potential permanent transfer next summer.

According to his parent club, there is the possibility of Leeds buying him outright.

Here’s the best of the reaction.
