Former Leeds United forward Noel Whelan believes the Whites will target Mark Travers this summer as a replacement for Kiko Casilla.
The Spaniard has been Marcelo Bielsa's first-choice stopper since he joined the club back in January, but endured a disappointing end to the campaign, making a huge high-profile error in his side's Championship semi-final defeat to Derby County at Elland Road.
Questions have continued to linger over Casilla's long-term future with the Whites since the conclusion of the season, while second choice Bailey Peacock-Farrell has threatened to quit the club this summer if he isn't guaranteed regular first-time football.
And Whelan believes Travers, who has been linked with a loan move to the club this summer, would be a shrewd acquisition for his former side.
“Leeds will be in the market for a keeper,” Whelan told Football Insider .
“They are looking at the Bournemouth keeper Travers on loan and Eddie Howe has given him a rave review.
“He seems pretty pleased with the young man and the way he has developed. He definitely has something, and it looks like he’s really special. Bournemouth have quality players and he was good enough to be part of their squad last season.
“He was also named man-of-the-match against a good Tottenham side at the end of the season, which shows he has the right temperament."
Before the boyhood Whites fan added: “Leeds are looking at a replacement because it seems that Casilla will be going back to Spain.
“We could have two quality young keepers next season, with Travers and Peacock-Farrrell.”
