Leeds boss Bielsa keen on Chelsea striker Batshuayi

Leeds United are showing an interest in Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

The Belgian is likely to depart the club this summer, with The Telegraph reporting that Leeds coach Marcelo Bielsa wants to bring him to Elland Road.

Batshuayi did not get much game time during a loan spell at Crystal Palace this past season.

However, Leeds were too reliant on Patrick Bamford in the striker position and now want alternatives in their squad.

Bielsa may believe that he can get something more out of Batshuayi, compared to his displays for Chelsea and Palace.
