- Illan Meslier already staring at second transfer after Leeds United summer exit
Illan Meslier could already be leaving Arsenal after his summer exit from Leeds United .
The 26-year-old's contract with the Whites expired at the end of last season and he subsequently moved to the Emirates Stadium.

At the North London outfit, there clearly seems to be no room for the French goalkeeper, with David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga at Mikel Arteta's disposal.
Meslier's exit from Elland Road doesn't look to have gone as planned and Olympique Marseille now have their eyes on him.
The former Lorient ace quickly dropped down the pecking order under Daniel Farke after making multiple errors at the West Yorkshire outfit.
James Trafford is now the number one at the Peacocks and they've certainly made an upgrade in the position.

Meslier's move to Arsenal earlier this transfer window came as a surprise for some, considering his lack of minutes at Leeds.
The Frenchman's prospects at the Emirates Stadium certainly don't look any better, with Raya starting and Kepa on the bench in their Premier League opener against Coventry City.
According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna on 27 August, Marseille are now looking to sign Meslier.
The former Whites player is one of the options to bolster the Ligue 1 side's goalkeeping department.
There's no mention of whether it could be a loan or permanent deal.
OM also need to make space in their squad before they can make a concrete approach for the France national.

Why Arsenal are making 'wild' Illan Meslier move despite awful Leeds United record What Daniel Farke's goalkeeping options could look like after transfer deadline
Michael Zetterer is being eyed at Leeds to provide cover for Trafford.
The Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper's move to Elland Road may depend on the Bundesliga club signing Noah Atubolu from Freiburg , which looks like a done deal.
Once there's a new shot-stopper at Deutsche Bank Park, the Whites could potentially get the green light to pursue Zetterer.
However, the West Yorkshire outfit clearly need to resolve Lucas Perri 's situation before investing in another goalkeeper.
If the Brazil national ends up staying in LS11, there surely wouldn't be any need to sign a new number two.
