Exclusive | Leeds United opt for Michael Zetterer in No.2 role; Matthieu Epolo set to stay at Standard Liege Get French Football News understands that Leeds United will look to sign Michael Zetterer as their No.2. As reported exclusively by GFFN yesterday, the Premier League side were weighing up whether to sign an experienced goalkeeper for the back-up role or a prospect. They have ultimately opted for the former. In the event of going for a younger goalkeeper, Leeds United had earmarked Standard Liege’s Matthieu Epolo. The DR Congo international had also received interest from Ligue 1 clubs Olympique de Marseille and Toulouse FC. For different reasons, it is currently unlikely that Epolo will join either. As a result, he looks set to remain with the Belgian club. A January exit, however, cannot be ruled out, and OM remain interested, even if they are not in a position to lodge a bid this summer. Leeds made the definitive decision to advance a deal for Zetterer (31) on Friday. Talks with Eintracht Frankfurt are now advanced. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
