Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that the club are interested in signing Michy Batshuayi from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

According to The Times, Leeds are interested in signing Batshuayi from Chelsea this summer.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side, who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship, need to bring in a new player upfront, as Patrick Bamford is the only senior out-and-out striker in the squad at the moment.

The London Evening Standard has claimed that the West Yorkshire outfit have registered interest in the 26-year-old Belgium international striker.

Batshuayi has struggled to make a huge impact at Chelsea since his move from Marseille in 2016, and has been out on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Crystal Palace in recent years.

The striker worked with current Leeds head coach Bielsa at Marseille, and, according to The London Evening Standard, scored 10 goals in 29 appearances under him.
