Leeds United to move for Lewis Baker?

Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker.

The 23-year-old, who was called up to the senior side in 2014, is yet to make an appearance for the first team after being sent out on loan in each of the past four seasons.

According to The Mirror, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has marked Baker as a priority target ahead of the new season.

The newspaper says that Leeds want to take the midfielder on a permanent transfer, but could settle for a loan deal if Chelsea refuse to sell.

Baker spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where the England Under-21 international scored two goals in 14 appearances in all competitions.
