Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa reportedly an ‘admirer’ of Chelsea youngster Reece James
Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa is said to be a fan of Chelsea talent Reece James, with January bids expected for the England under-21 international.
that Steve Bruce wants to bring the talented right-back to Newcastle United for the second half of the 2019-20 season.
However, they also suggest that Leeds United’s Argentine boss is a big fan of the player, calling him an ‘admirer’.
The report does not suggest that Leeds United are considering a January swoop for the player whilst it also claims that Chelsea are unlikely to let James out on loan this season as he is a feature in Frank Lampard’s plans for the season.
TBR’s View
Of course Leeds United boss Bielsa might have some difficulty convincing Lampard to allow one of his players head to Elland Road out on loan. Considering ‘Spygate’ and the play-off clashes, Lampard might not be forthcoming.
James will be known to Leeds fans as well, as he scored a fantastic free-kick against the Whites whilst on loan at Wigan Athletic last season.
Considering his ability to play in several positions he would undoubtedly be a brilliant addition for Leeds in January. At the moment, however, it does not seem as though Chelsea are prepared to let him go.
