Leeds boss Bielsa seeking reunion with Chelsea striker Batshuayi

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is seeking a reunion with Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

The Athletic says Bielsa's Leeds United are interested in the Belgian striker as they prepare to add Premier League experience to their squad.

Leeds already have one former Chelsea man leading the line, with Patrick Bamford having finished last season as the Whites' top scorer as they won the Championship title.

Batshuayi scored nine Ligue 1 goals under Bielsa at Marseille in 2014/15, and hit double figures the following year when Michel was in charge at the French club.

It's already been revealed Leeds did everything to land former Gent striker Jonathan David before his move to Lille last week.
