Leeds, PSV interested in signing forgotten Chelsea defender?

Leeds United and PSV Eindhoven reportedly hold an interest in signing Chelsea defender Jake Clarke-Salter on a free transfer.

Despite having reached the age of 24, Clarke-Salter has been limited to just two substitute appearances in a Chelsea, his career instead being spent out on loan.

The centre-back has arguably just enjoyed his best-ever season, making a total of 29 Championship outings for a Coventry City side which challenged for the playoffs.

While Chelsea possess the option to extend Clarke-Salter's contract by another 12 months, The Sun claims that Leeds and PSV are both monitoring the situation.

The report claims that the English and Dutch giants are also joined by Sheffield United and Club Brugge in being prepared to hand the Englishman a fresh challenge.

Chelsea are unable a clause in the player's contract until the proposed takeover of the club by Todd Boehly's consortium is formally completed.
