Leeds boss Bielsa on Everton radar

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is interesting Everton.

The Mirror says Bielsa is a shock target for Everton if they ditch struggling Marco Silva.

Controversial Leeds boss Bielsa is currently under investigation by the Football League after admitting he sent a staff member to “spy" on Championship rivals Derby at their training ground before the two clubs met at Elland Road last month.

After being challenged about the accusation, the 63-year-old Argentinian – nicknamed El Loco after a colourful career in management – admitted he's spied on ALL Leeds' opponents in training this season.

But the uproar hasn't stopped Everton officials being impressed with his work since his shock arrival in England after previously managing Argentina and Chile's national teams as well as clubs including Marseille, Lazio and Lille.
