Leeds United goalkeeper Lucas Perri is in advanced discussions with Italian Serie A club Torino, with the move expected to be structured initially as a loan and potentially becoming permanent. Leeds head coach Daniel Farke confirmed the talks, adding that the club is close to securing a replacement for the Brazilian shot-stopper. Farke declined to provide further details until any new signings are officially confirmed but expressed cautious optimism about additional squad arrivals ahead of the international break.

Reports suggest that Leeds are targeting Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Michael Zetterer as cover for James Trafford, who joined the club in the summer transfer window. The move would provide competition and depth in goal as Leeds prepare for a challenging stretch of fixtures.

Leeds United will aim to maintain their unbeaten start to the season when they host Brentford at Elland Road. The Whites currently have two wins from their opening matches, including a victory in the Carabao Cup over Nottingham Forest. In contrast, Brentford, under the management of Keith Andrews, have also made a strong start, with two wins including a notable 3-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League opener, followed by a commanding Carabao Cup win over Birmingham City.

Farke acknowledged Brentford’s impressive form and the tactical challenges they present, highlighting the quality of the opposition managed by Andrews. “It’s one of the most complicated tasks you can have right now to play against Brentford because Keith is doing a fantastic job there,” he said.

Despite the early success, Brentford manager Keith Andrews urged caution and emphasized the need to remain focused. “Nobody is getting carried away. It has been one league game and one cup game. The game gives you absolutely nothing. You’ve got to go on and earn it and that’ll be no different on Sunday,” Andrews stated ahead of the fixture.

The match promises to be a competitive encounter between two sides demonstrating strong form early in the campaign. Both Leeds and Brentford will look to continue their positive momentum as the Premier League season unfolds.
