Overview
- Leeds have held talks over a move for RB Leipzig centre-back El Chadaille Bitshiabu, according to earlier TeamTalk reporting cited by multiple outlets.
- Sport Bild, via Yahoo Sports on Dec. 27, reports Leipzig intend to keep the 20-year-old this winter and are not looking to sell.
- Fussball Transfers reporting a day earlier suggested Leipzig would reject a permanent sale in January but could consider a loan to secure minutes for the player.
- Premier League interest extends beyond Leeds, with West Ham also monitoring the situation as they assess defensive options.
- Bitshiabu has logged limited appearances this season following injury, and journalists including Fabrizio Romano describe him as unhappy with playing time, a factor that could shape any loan discussions.
