French teenage goalkeeper Illan Meslier close to Leeds United arrival

Only five are permitted in a matchday squad, but international loan signings can be classed as permanent players and don't count towards that total.
Meslier's arrival doesn't rule out the possibility of a further loan arrival before tomorrow's deadline.
