2nd March 2026

Birthday boy, Illan joined Leeds United initially on loan in 2019 from Lorient and made the move permanent in 2020 for around £6 million. In his Leeds career he’s registered many clean sheets with notable seasons in the Championship. In the Premier League he has over 20 top-flight clean sheets and has made hundreds of saves over his appearances. Youngest goalkeeper to keep 11 clean sheets in a single Premier League season. Another player that loved to receive and read his fan mail.

Good luck my friend. I hope you have a great day. Happy birthday

Absolutely delighted to catch up with Luke, a true Leeds United cult hero, at the game today. Once a player, always a fan! Great to see you and your lovely family again, my friend.
