MARCELO BIELSA wants West Ham’s forgotten striker Jordan Hugill at Leeds.

The Elland Road boss is eyeing a loan swoop for Hugill, 26, who barely played after joining from Preston for £10million in January.

But they face a battle for the hitman, 26, with Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers.

Bielsa, 62, is wasting little time making his presence felt after taking over last month.

The hard-line Argie plans to make Leeds the fittest team around — by ordering his stars to train FOUR TIMES a day.

Players are also expected to eat lunch together before having siestas at a hotel close to their Thorp Arch facility.

Leeds have not gone away in pre-season, so Bielsa wants to treat training time like a spell away from home.

He is pushing hard to get his new ideas across — but the tough regime has been well received by the squad.

Meanwhile, new London Stadium chief Manuel Pellegrini is keen to move on his fringe men as he reshapes the Hammers.

The former Manchester City manager has been monitoring Lyon centre-back Marcelo and Malaga skipper Recio.

West Ham are also reportedly considering a £17.5m bid for Borussia Dortmund winger Andriy Yarmolenko.

Sky Sports say Pellegrini wants the Ukrainian as a a cruciate ligament injury has ruled out Manuel Lanzini for over a year.
