Leeds United Plot Shock Summer Move for Towering 6ft 5 Paraguayan Goalkeeper

May 12, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for 24-year-old Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill, who plays for San Lorenzo in Argentina. While the club has been linked with higher-profile targets like Sam Johnstone of Wolves and Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher, Gill offers a more affordable and lesser-known option. Despite his relative obscurity, Gill has impressed in Argentina with nine clean sheets in 18 appearances, showcasing his potential.

With Illan Meslier’s inconsistency and 34-year-old Karl Darlow not seen as a long-term solution, Leeds are prioritizing a new goalkeeper. The club is expected to spend big this summer, with reports suggesting that manager Daniel Farke could have up to £150 million to strengthen the squad. While Johnstone and Kelleher would bring proven Premier League experience, Gill’s lack of exposure to top-flight football could mean a slower transition, positioning him more as a second-choice option for now.
