Leeds United have been linked with a plethora of goalkeepers since securing promotion to the Premier League. One player who is reportedly on the Whites' transfer radar is former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The England international is expected to leave Southampton after just one season in the wake of the club's relegation to the Championship. Ramsdale only joined the Saints in a big-money deal last August.
Manchester United and West Ham United are also reportedly said to be eyeing up a summer move for Ramsdale. Clubs will be able to sign players from June 1.
Speaking to FruityKing, EFL pundit Don Goodman said: "Aaron Ramsdale has suffered a third relegation on his CV but with respect to his clubs, his performances weren’t the reason for that. He would have gone into Southampton and known it would have been a relegation battle and tough for them to survive.
"What all clubs look at in this day and age, is the data. Whilst he was the most exposed goalkeeper in the Premier League, only three goalkeepers had a lower save ratio and he conceded the most goals in the Premier League. To me, it shows he had just an ‘ok’ season.
"If you could guarantee that you're getting Aaron Ramsdale at the top of his game, then a move would be a no-brainer for Leeds United. Given the season he's just had, however, I suppose it would be a bit of a gamble.
"I would love to see him get back to the level that we know he is capable of, as I think there's a great goalkeeper but we haven't seen those levels consistently enough in recent times."
The Whites have also been credited with an interest in Everton striker Beto. Goodman believes Beto would be a "brilliant addition" for United as they bid to establish themselves in the top flight.
"He's an absolute handful and really seems to have found some form," said Goodman. "But, based on the fact that Everton's problem across the last couple of years has been scoring goals, I'd be shocked if they are happy to let him leave. He's the top scorer at Everton with eight goals despite only 13 starts, which cannot be overlooked. From an Everton perspective, I'd be shocked if they allowed him to leave.
"But for Leeds United it would be brilliant. He's quick, powerful and now has confidence because he's been scoring goals. He reminds me of Jean-Philippe Mateta a little bit who took time to settle in the Premier League but you look at him now and think 'What a handful!"
