The future of Bailey Peacock-Farrell does appear to be at Leeds United, despite reports linking him with an Elland Road exit this summer.  

That is, according to Leeds Live. They state that, ‘as far as they understand’ the academy product will be sticking around at Leeds United as back-up to Kiko Casilla. 

There has been plenty of conjecture surrounding the future of Peacock-Farrell this summer. In recent weeks that has only been exacerbated by his absence from pre-season fixtures. However, the report states that Peacock-Farrell is recovering from an injury. 

Of course, rumours surrounding Peacock-Farrell are likely to increase again with news out of Burnley this week. As reported by The Mirror earlier this month, the Clarets are said to be keen on a deal for Peacock-Farrell if Tom Heaton leaves the club. As reported by The Telegraph this morning, Aston Villa have had an £8 million offer for the England international accepted. 

Peacock-Farrell, however, would simply be swapping a battle for first-team football at Leeds for an even tougher one at Burnley. Another two England internationals are currently at Turf Moor in Nick Pope and Joe Hart. 

So at present, it does not seem as though Peacock-Farrell is pushing for an exit from Leeds.
