Bashir Humphreys would be a "good addition" for Leeds United in their promotion quest, according to former Whites midfielder Carlton Palmer.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claimed the Whites and Championship rivals Burnley are among the clubs to have shown "concrete" interest in the Chelsea youngster.

The 21-year-old, primarily a centre-half, spent last season on loan at Swansea City.

He made 24 appearances for the Welsh outfit, scoring once.

Having struggled to break into the Blues' first team set up, Humphreys is expected to leave Stamford Bridge on loan or in a permanent deal in the coming days.

"I know if he goes to Leeds United he's not going to be guaranteed first team football, as the two players who are going to start for Leeds are going to be Rodon and Struijk, but also if he goes to Burnley he's not going to be guaranteed first team football," Palmer told Football League World.

"And that's the thing, as a young player when you move to a football club, you want to be playing regular first team football.

I suppose it's a little bit different here in this situation, he is only 21.

"Chelsea are wanting to sell the player, they don't want a loan, so I think it will be which club can do a deal to take him on a permanent basis.

He'd be a good addition to anybody's squad, he's a very good young player.

"As I said, it would be better for the player to go somewhere where he can play regular first team football, he made 24 appearances on loan at Swansea last season.

He needs to play.

"Both of those clubs, Leeds United and Burnley, are going to be vying for promotion back to the Premier League next season, so he would be a good addition for Leeds United or Burnley.
