Leeds United’s Luke Ayling said he was ‘buzzing’ for former club Bristol City, after their 2-1 League Cup win against Manchester United on Wednesday.

Ayling spent two full seasons at Bristol City – with whom he won the League One title and Football League Trophy in 2015 – before moving to Leeds 18 months ago.

He posted on Twitter afterwards:

The tweet drew dozens of replies from Leeds fans, several of whom took the opportunity to ask a favour of Ayling, relating to City goalscorer Joe Bryan…

Bryan was linked with a move earlier this year, but is now said to have Premier League interest following a series of impressive displays for the Robins this season.

The 24-year-old, who can also play left-wing, has scored four goals and made two more in 24 outings so far.

But it is in Bryan’s natural position that Leeds are more likely to want to strengthen, with right-back Gateano Berardi spending much of the campaign as first choice there.

Berardi conceded earlier this week that his team ‘probably […] needs a better player than me’.
