Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently reported that El Chadaille Bitshiabu could be on the move during the winter transfer window, as he is dissatisfied with his limited playing time at RB Leipzig this season.
Leeds United and West Ham have been mentioned as suitors for the French centre-back, but according to Bild, RB Leipzig have decided that Bitshiabu will not be allowed to leave during the winter window.
Currently the third-choice centre-back behind Willi Orban and Castello Lukeba, Bitshiabu would be called into the starting XI in the event of an injury.
At the same time, the 20-year-old is seen as a key player for the future at Leipzig, positioned to eventually succeed Lukeba, who has been linked with a move away for some time.
