Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing defender Bashir Humphreys from Chelsea.

The 21-year-old has been capped by England at various youth levels and accumulated senior experience with loan stints at Paderborn and Swansea City.

However, it appears his Stamford Bridge days could be numbered.

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Humphreys will leave Chelsea in the coming days.

He could reportedly leave on loan or on a permanent deal, although the Blues are said to prefer a sale.

Leeds are among the clubs believed to have shown interest, while their Championship counterparts Burnley are also thought to be in the mix.

Humphreys has also been reported to have attracted interest from the Bundesliga.

A centre-back by trade, he made 26 appearances for Swansea last season.

Ethan Ampadu played in midfield in the opener against Portsmouth, although did a stellar job of deputising for Struijk at centre-back last term.
