Leeds United are interested in making a loan move for Lille midfielder Fares Bahlouli according to Yahoo Sport journalist Manu Lonjon.

What's the story?

The 23-year-old only signed for Lille from Monaco in January 2017 and the attacking midfielder has made just 14 appearances for the club in Ligue 1, with 11 of them coming via the bench.

Bahlouli, who is valued at £675,000 on Transfermarkt, worked under Marcelo Bielsa during his ill-fated reign at the French club.

Now it appears a reunion could be on the cards as Bielsa is reportedly keen on bringing the Frenchman to Elland Road as he looks to strengthen the squad despite their good start to the season.

Worth a punt?

Although Leeds have started the season very impressively, a big squad is always key to success in the Championship where a long season can take its toll on the players.

Bielsa knows the player and must clearly rate him if he wants him back, although Leeds are looking strong in attacking midfield at the moment.

He could provide good cover and if it's a loan deal, it's very low risk for Leeds.
