Leeds United are reportedly interested in raiding Bayern Munich to sign French midfielder Michael Cuisance this summer, with Marcelo Bielsa an enormous fan of the 21-year-old star – and Bayern supporters have responded on Twitter.

Cuisance, 21, joined Bayern from Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer of 2019 and made 10 senior appearances for the European champions last term. He made a substitute appearance in Bayern’s first game of the season last Friday.

Foot Mercato claim Leeds want to take Cuisance on loan, with Bielsa asking his scouts to take a look at the France Under-20 star. Bielsa fell in love with Cuisance during his time at Marseille, and he now faces competition from Marseille for Cuisance.

The report states that Andre Villas-Boas is keen to take the box-to-box midfielder to Marseille in the coming weeks. Leeds are seemingly after a central midfielder, having been also linked with Udinese’s Rodrigo De Paul and Levante’s Jose Campana.

Indeed, Mateusz Klich lacks a permanent partner in midfield ahead of Kalvin Phillips. Pablo Hernandez is first choice, but is now 35 years of age and suffered an injury pre-Fulham. Tyler Roberts has been inconsistent, while Rodrigo is naturally a striker.

Bayern Munich fans reacted on Twitter to the reported news that Leeds and Marseille want to sign Cuisance, and many are keen to see him join Bielsa at Elland Road as they embark on their first Premier League campaign since relegation in 2004.
