Leeds United are closing in on the signing of Lewis Baker from Chelsea this summer.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds are looking to land Baker on a permanent deal, although are open to the idea of a season-long loan.
Baker spent time at Middlesbrough in the Championship last season, but was unable to make his mark on Tony Pulis’ side.
The 23-year-old spent two years on loan to Vitesse in the Dutch league, where he scored 20 goals.
Since breaking into senior football in 2013, Baker has only made one appearance for Chelsea’s first-team, joining four teams on loan since then.
Leeds are now looking to offer him a permanent escape from Stamford Bridge and the chance to make a name for himself in the Championship.
Baker was a regular for England’s under-21 side in recent years and will now have aspirations to make the senior squad.
A move to the Championship could give him the kick-start he needs to progress.
