A Champions League club have made an approach for Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier, with the Frenchman's time at Elland Road likely to come to an end sooner rather than later.
The Whites have done well back in the Premier League so far this season, steering clear of the relegation zone and more than holding their own.
New signings have settled in well and last season's Championship players have largely handled the step up to the top flight impressively, but one figure who hasn't featured at all is Meslier.
Leeds United's Illan Meslier reacts
The 25-year-old was once a highly-rated young goalkeeper of whom big things were expected, with some even predicting that he would be Hugo Lloris' long-term replacement for France, but he has become an error-prone figure at Elland Road, leading to him being dropped last season.
It feels like a case of when Meslier departs Leeds rather than if, with Daniel Farke making it clear he isn't an important figure, and it now looks as though his exit may not be too far away.
Champions League club make approach for Leeds ace Meslier
According to an update from Voetbal Krant [via Sport Witness], Club Brugge have made an approach for Leeds 'keeper Meslier, as well as rivals Anderlecht.
They are hoping to strike a deal in the January transfer window, even though it is "not an easy proposition", but his time with the Whites is still thought to be "coming to an end".

It feels right for all parties for Meslier's time at Leeds to reach its conclusion, with his current situation not helping anyone, in terms of having an out-of-favour player not featuring at all at the club.
The £30,000-a-week stopper will surely want to be starting games regularly at this point in his career, and that won't happen with the Whites, with Farke brutally honest about his shortcomings last season.
"It's fair to say he had a poor game against Hull and his mistake for the second goal was decisive. There were a few games where he could have and should have done better. There were perhaps one or two strikes where you would expect a player of his calibre could save it when he is on the top of his game. I spoke with Illan about this and although he has had many clean sheets and many good saves he could show this with more consistency. It's important to be honest and open."
At 25 years of age, time is still on Meslier's side, and he is a naturally gifted goalkeeper, but once the errors started creeping in at a more regular rate at Leeds, it became clear that he had no future at the club.
Leeds man was once the 'best in the league', now Farke needs to sell him
