Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to applaud the possibility of Bailey Peacock-Farrell going out on loan.
BBC Leeds correspondent Adam Pope claimed on his personal Twitter account yesterday (Tuesday) that the Yorkshire giants could be ready to offload the young goalkeeper, 20, on a temporary basis.
This comes as Leeds close in on the signing of Pole Kamil Miazek, 21, who has been on trial and was named in the Under-23s squad for Monday’s clash against Burnley.
Keeper Maziek’s arrival at Leeds United could allow Bailey Peacock-Farrell the chance to go out on loan. #lufc

Peacock-Farrell is third in the pecking order at Leeds, where he is behind number one Felix Wiedwald and Alex Lonergan, who returned for a second spell in the summer window.
Elland Road academy product Peacock-Farrell has long been regarded as a rising star at Leeds and has been on the substitute’s bench for their League Cup fixtures this season.
He was handed a new three-year contract in July and was close to joining League One club Oldham on loan before the plug was pulled on the deal.
Leeds fans believe it would be a smart move for Peacock-Farrell to go out on loan and get first-team experience before returning to his parent club.

Seems sensible to me. I reckon BPF will learn more out on loan than padding around Thorp Arch or sat on the bench for cup matches. #lufc https://t.co/06tzb2UjBS
