Leeds United May Get Rid of Illan Meslier After Winning Promotion, Claims Joe Hart

The promotion of Leeds United to the Premier League has sparked a renewed interest in the future of Illan Meslier, the talented French goalkeeper who has been a key player for the club. However, according to Joe Hart, Meslier’s future at Elland Road may be uncertain.

A Bright Start

Hart, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club, revealed that he was impressed by Meslier when he first came onto the Premier League scene. “I just can’t work it out,” Hart said. “I remember when he first came to the Premier League, I thought wow, who is this goalkeeper. Baby-faced, great left foot, incredible, absolute cat.”

Disappointing Goals

However, Hart also expressed his concerns about Meslier’s recent form, citing the goalkeeper’s tendency to let in disappointing goals. “He’s let some disappointing goals in this season,” Hart said. “Sam Allardyce famously took him out of the team. There’s a top, top goalkeeper in him. Whether he’s going to get another chance at Leeds, who knows.”

Contract Situation

Meslier’s contract situation is also a topic of discussion, with the goalkeeper having a contract at Leeds until the summer of 2026. According to reports, Rennes, Leicester City, and Strasbourg are all showing interest in signing Meslier, who is valued at £13.75m.

Farke’s Plans

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is said to be considering Meslier’s future at Elland Road, with the club looking to sign a new goalkeeper this summer. The signing of a shot-stopper puts Meslier’s future in doubt, and Hart questioned whether Leeds have the patience to let him show what he can do in the Premier League.

“I don’t know his contract situation,” Hart said. “There is a top goalkeeper there, but whether they have the patience to let him show what he can do in the Premier League, I don’t know.”

Conclusion

The future of Illan Meslier at Leeds United is uncertain, with the goalkeeper’s recent form and contract situation sparking interest from other clubs. While Meslier has shown glimpses of brilliance in the past, his inconsistent form may lead to him being sold in the summer transfer window. Only time will tell if Meslier will remain a key player for Leeds United in the Premier League.
