Leeds United confirmed their leadership group last week with Ethan Ampadu named captain and Illan Meslier made one of his understudies yet he had no warning from Daniel Farke it was coming
Ten members of Leeds United’s squad are older than Illan Meslier , but only three began at Elland Road before him, only two of those have made more appearances and nobody has made more starts. Despite that longevity in the dressing room, the 24-year-old was surprised when Daniel Farke announced his vice-captaincy last week.

It's just a name, but I'm not changing anything else. I'm just happy. The former Lorient shotstopper did his bit last term and ended up sharing the Championship’s Golden Glove prize with West Bromwich Albion’s Alex Palmer. They each delivered 18 clean sheets over the course of the campaign.
“He is right. I also have expectations of myself, with clean sheets. If I can beat my clean sheets of last season it would be even better, but we will see. Hopefully, we will get promoted with the best defence.”
