Bailey Peacock-Farrell has been at the centre of criticism from Leeds United fans again. This time, it comes after the 4-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Adam Forshaw was at fault for the first, while Pontus Jansson got underneath the ball for the third. But it was Peacock-Farrell who could have done better for the second.

Here five non-linked Premier League goalkeepers Leeds should be considering:

Alex Smithies

Smithies was signed by Cardiff City in the summer for £3.5million, but his hopes of being first choice were quickly shot down. The 28-year-old has managed just one Carabao Cup appearance.

John Ruddy

Promotion experience with Wolverhampton Wanderers last season, Ruddy would be an excellent buy. Second to Rui Patricio at Molineux, the one-time England international has managed just two Carabao Cup outings.

Emiliano Martinez

Martinez, 26, is a classic third-choice goalkeeper. The odd loan here and there, but more than happy to remain at Arsenal behind Bernd Leno and Petr Cech. Being from Argentina, Bielsa should consider a move.

Lee Grant

One of Manchester United’s most bizarre transfers, veteran stopper Grant has managed just a 20-minute appearance for his current club. 356 Championship appearances to date, means he knows the league inside out.

Rob Green

Former Leeds stopper, who played in goal throughout the 2016-17 campaign before moving to Huddersfield. Now at Chelsea, he has failed to make a single appearance at Stamford Bridge.
