Leeds United have already signed two players from Chelsea this summer.

One of the comments beneath Jamal Blackman’s latest Instagram post could be of interest to fans of Leeds United.

Blackman moved to Leeds on a season-long loan from Chelsea on Monday, following Blues teammate Lewis Baker to Elland Road.

But could a third Chelsea player be bound for the West Yorkshire club this summer, after appearing to hint as such on Monday?

In response to Blackman’s first post since arriving at Leeds, defender Kenneth Omeruo wrote: “Wait for meeeeeee”.

Omeruo Comment

Omeruo, who appeared for Nigeria at this summer’s World Cup, recently returned to Chelsea from a loan spell at Kasımpaşa, although it is unclear what lies in store for the 24-year-old this coming campaign.

Leeds had been expected to strengthen in Omeruo’s position, after Matthew Pennington’s return to Everton and Paudie O’Connor’s loan to Blackpool – although in Baker and Blackman the Whites have already acquired the maximum amount of players over the age of 23 that can be loaned from any one club (two).

As well as being teammates for the past six years at Stamford Bridge, Omeruo and Blackman spent the 2014-15 season on loan to Middlesbrough.
