Leeds United are reportedly interested in bringing Aaron Lennon back to Elland Road in the summer.

It was reported by The Sun over the weekend that Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is doing his checks on Aaron Lennon ahead of a potential summer move for the Burnley winger.

The Sun reports that Lennon could miss the rest of the campaign due to a knee injury, but that has not stopped Bielsa looking into the possibility of signing the 31-year-old at the end of the season.

It has also been suggested by The Sun that Lennon would be interested in making a return to Leeds 14 years after leaving the club as their financial implosion continued.

And interestingly, it appears that plenty of Burnley supporters would not mind seeing the winger move on in the summer, with several suggesting that he has been an underwhelming signing for Sean Dyche’s side.

Some believe that he has made a decent contribution during his time with the Clarets – though one fan was adamant that he has been an excellent signing – but some fans have been less kind about the Leeds target.

It would be a gamble by the Championship high-flyers to make a move, particularly if they do manage to get promoted. But if Bielsa does decide to make a bid in the coming months, it will perhaps be because he can imagine Lennon performing at a level that will clearly surprise a lot of the Burnley supporters.
