Leeds fans discuss Kiko Casilla as Whites sign off with a win against West Brom

Kiko Casilla was handed a third Premier League appearance on Sunday as Leeds United signed off a brilliant Premier League campaign with a fourth consecutive win – and fans reckon it might be his last game for the club.

Casilla, 34, was handed the last two games of the season by Marcelo Bielsa as Illan Meslier dropped to the bench and the Spain international managed to keep a clean sheet against Southampton – and deserved one against West Brom.

Goals from Rodrigo, Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford saw Leeds cruise to another win, securing an impressive ninth place in the Premier League with Manchester City annihilating Everton by five goals to nil.

But Casilla did concede late on – as Phillips’ miss-controlled a ball on the edge of the area allowing Hal Robson-Kanu to score. It was a bad end to a brilliant game and season for Phillips, who also seemed to have injured his shoulder.

Three-time Champions League winner Casilla has long been linked with the exit door at Elland Road – with the player supposedly on big wages but acting as a back-up goalkeeper. he earns £32,000 a week.

Pablo Hernandez and Gaetano Berardi were given an emotional send-off after confirmation Leeds would not extend their deals. Gjanni Alioski’s future is in doubt, as is Casilla’s – and Leeds fans reckon it might be his last game.
