Recall that 22-year-old Mellier has been playing for Leeds since 2019. First, the English club rented a football player from Lorient, and a year later they bought the rights. This season, the goalkeeper of the French youth team conceded 20 goals in 13 matches in all competitions and played clean sheets twice.

Earlier it was reported that Mellier is the main candidate to replace the Frenchman Hugo Lloris at Tottenham. However, later it was reported that Mellier had extended his contract with Leeds.
