Leeds United are still looking to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window, with Chelsea’s Bashir Humphreys linked with a switch to the club.
The Whites have endured a tough market so far, with Archie Gray joining Tottenham and Crysencio Summerville leaving for West Ham.
Daniel Farke has managed to bolster his options, signing Joe Rodon and Jayden Bogle on permanent deals, while Joe Rothwell has joined on loan from AFC Bournemouth for the season.
The Leeds manager is still looking towards options in the market that could still strengthen his squad for the Championship season.
One of the latest names to be linked with a move is young Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys, who could be available on a loan deal.
So with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Leeds United transfer target Bashir Humphreys.
Bashir Humphreys age and height
Humphreys was born on March 15th, 2003 in Exeter, England, which makes him 21 years old at the time of writing.
The youngster is approximately 1.86 metres tall, which makes him six foot and one inch tall, making him an imposing figure.
Bashir Humphreys position
A versatile defender, Humphreys is usually deployed as a centre-back on either side of the defence, but he is capable of playing elsewhere.
In the past, the Chelsea starlet has featured at right-back as well as defensive midfield, offering plenty of different options across the back.
What is Bashir Humphreys strongest foot?
While Humphreys is capable of playing on the right, the defender is actually more comfortable in using his left foot.
It means that plenty of different passing angles are available to the youngster, especially when building from the back.
Humphreys career path
In his short career so far, Humphreys has already played plenty of senior football as he looks to break into the team at Chelsea.
The centre-back started off in the Reading academy before moving to Stamford Bridge, where he has moved through the development ranks.
A loan at SC Paderborn came in the second half of the 2022/23 season, making 13 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit.
He then returned to west London before being given another six-month loan spell at Swansea last season.
Humphreys played 26 times for the Swans, becoming a guaranteed starter for the side.
Bashir Humphreys to Leeds United transfer
While Leeds were linked with a move for Chelsea youngster Alfie Gilchrist, his loan to Sheffield United means that targets have changed.
With that in mind, The Daily Mail claims (11/08, p86) that both Leeds and Burnley have tabled offers to sign Bashir Humphreys on loan for the campaign.
It remains to be seen how Chelsea will respond to these offers, with the defender looking to gain valuable first-team experience.
