English clubs chase World Cup goalkeepers in summer transfer window

Leeds United are reported to be monitoring Norwegian international goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, who is a free agent after his contract with Sevilla expired. His performances in the ongoing World Cup have drawn praise, and the club sees him as a potential short‑term upgrade to improve a goalkeeping department that lost veteran Karl Darlow and saw Illan Meslier depart.

Derby County have been linked with Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu as speculation swirls around Sweden’s Jacob Widell Zetterström, whose World Cup displays have raised his profile. Bazunu, an Irish international who has struggled with injuries after spells at Manchester City, Stoke City and Standard Liege, is being considered as a possible replacement amid Derby’s interest in strengthening the position.

Both clubs are looking to address their goalkeeping needs ahead of the new season, with the World Cup performances of Nyland, Zetterström and Bazunu influencing the market interest.
