Barnsley fans want to see the back of Leeds-linked Andy Yiadom.

Leeds United picked up just a third win of 2018 on Saturday afternoon, as they beat Barnsley 2-1 at Elland Road to hand manager Paul Heckingbottom a much-needed win.

Tom Pearce put the hosts in front before Paudie O’Connor’s own goal levelled the game up, and Ezgjan Alioski grabbed the winning goal to give Leeds all three points.

Whilst Leeds’ season is petering out, Barnsley are in desperate need of points, and are running out of games to save themselves from relegation to League One.

Jose Morais’ men remain in the Championship relegation zone, two points adrift of safety as they currently look set to drop into the third tier once again.

Leeds boss Heckingbottom may be looking to raid his former club this summer, and the Yorkshire Evening Post recently reported that Tykes full back Andy Yiadom is a top target.

The Barnsley captain is out of contract at the end of the season, and could head to Elland Road on a free transfer this summer – but Barnsley fans are far from impressed with the Ghanaian international.

Yiadom was caught napping for Leeds’ winning goal and Barnsley fans took to Twitter to suggest that Yiadom shouldn’t be captain anymore and should do everybody a favour and leave the club as his heart simply isn’t in the Barnsley cause anymore, branding him ‘dreadful’ and ’embarrassing’.
