Leeds United are keen on signing Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker and have moved to snap up the deal.

Baker, 23, has had previous loan stints at Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons and Vitesse Arnham before being loaned out to Middlesbrough last season where he made 14 appearances, scoring twice.

The England U21 international is now wanted by Championship side Leeds, where Marcelo Bielsa has taken charge.

Baker is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2022 and now the Luton-born ace who is highly rated by many looks set to be on the move again without making a start yet for Chelsea.

According to reports, Leeds want to buy Baker outright but could accept a loan if Chelsea refuse to sell.
