Leeds United can confirm that the club will be holding an investigation into the alleged approach made to schoolboy Lewie Coyle.
The club have taken this decision, following allegations that Chelsea made an approach to the young player.
A spokesman said: "We are extremely concerned about the matter involving one of our Academy players, particularly against the backdrop of the current allegations being made against the same club involving other players.
"On completion of our inquiry we will take the appropriate action.
"We won't be commenting further on this issue until our investigation is complete."
United have already reported Chelsea to the football authorities, following the alleged tapping up of schoolboy trio Danny Rose, Michael Woods, and Tom Taiwo.
Danny rejected an approach to join Chelsea, but Woods and Taiwo are now apprentices at Stamford Bridge.

Clearly it was. Thankfully I forgot all about it so it wasn't disapointing.
All this stuff is all well and good. We don't want our young players stolen, but I hope we get a princely compensation for all this, thats all I really care about. We need the money and do deserve some from Chealsea (they've got too much anyway). £4million plus and I'd be happy. I can't see it being even near £24million.

We'll be lucky if it's over £1m!

Nothing will happen, we'll get fobbed off and it'll all settle down.
