Leeds told to complete Bashir Humphreys deal after update - fans react

Leeds United supporters have urged the club to sign Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys before the transfer window closes.

The England Under-21 international is reportedly leaving Chelsea in the coming days, either on a permanent basis or a loan.

The Blues would prefer a sale, and Leeds United and Burnley are among the clubs showing interest, with some teams in the Bundesliga also monitoring him.

Humphreys is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2027, but the Premier League giants are looking to cash in on him in this window.

The 21-year-old has struggled for game time at Chelsea, having only made two first-team appearances for the club.

Humphreys spent last season on loan at Swansea City and made 27 appearances for the club in all competitions, 24 of which came in the Championship.

Leeds United fans believe Bashir Humphreys would provide good competition at Elland Road

The possibility of signing the Chelsea youngster is something that has excited many Leeds fans, who believe he could provide good competition to Daniel Farke’s existing options.

Leeds conceded three goals in their season opener against Portsmouth, which did raise concerns about their defensive capabilities.

Bring. Upgrade on Rodon this. Actually knows how to make a 5 yard pass https://t.co/kvEEa2NcPI— Championship tour (again) (@Logxnlufc) August 10, 2024

YES PLEASE https://t.co/VpnKJ8qWcE— Lewis Stant (@_LewisStant) August 10, 2024

Having someone who can cover that side like humphreys is a blessing

As Gnoto has moved to be the number 1 left winger after Summerville exit , Leeds should have a proper back up left and right winger to cover both Gnoto & james— ChrisTinashe Chikore (@CChikore12626) August 12, 2024

Interesting one.

Humphreys is very fun on the ball, about as ambipedal as you'll see a left footer be. Not just in his passing but in how he runs and uses his body too. Can cover the entirety of the back 4 like a Tomiyasu. #LUFC https://t.co/jeE3vzCmcq— Jibber Jabber (@EthanFromOnline) August 10, 2024

All in all – likely a good pickup, especially for a team that'll dominate the ball and needs fearless players on it (he's incredibly daring and graceful with it).

Probably good squad building. Has a little bust potential if things go awry defensively but I broadly like it. #LUFC— Jibber Jabber (@EthanFromOnline) August 10, 2024

I think Bashir Humphrey’s could play nearly all positions along the back line so would be a good addition for many clubs at our level #lufc #MOT— Marc F ???????????? (@billywigwam13) August 11, 2024

Outstanding centre half for £4.8m make that make sense— Ian Hambly (@Ihambly) August 11, 2024

Good to see / hear they have options but be nice to see a couple come to fruition— Iain ???????????? (@LUFC_Ando) August 10, 2024

Every little helps— Lufc Darren ???? (@UnitedLeeds_1) August 10, 2024

Get him in, loan deal. Can’t be on much at chelsea. Not like it should be hard to do as a back up. Keeps ampadu in midfield.— Owen Walton (@OwenWalton9) August 10, 2024

We need cover there. Rodon or struijk get injured and we lose Ampadu to midfield. Looks like Rodon needs competition anyway. He was slack to just as he was at the end of last season— HJF (@HenryJames1990) August 10, 2024
