Championship side Leeds United are considering a move for former Arsenal striker Chris Willock, according to a report on the Birmingham Mail.
Willock left the Gunners in the summer of 2017 for Portuguese giants Benfica, where he signed a five-year deal.
He has struggled to get enough first-team action for Benfica and has mainly been used in their reserve team.
However, Leeds’ boss Marcelo Bielsa is reportedly keeping an eye on Willock and may make a move for him in the January transfer window.
If Leeds do decide to pursue the England international, then it is expected to be a loan move rather than a permanent one.
Leeds are hoping to push for promotion to the Premier League and know that Willock has an eye for scoring goals.
The youngster was one of the most highly-rated players that came through the Arsenal academy system but in an effort to achieve more first-team action, he decided to move from the north London club.
