Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to flock to Robin Koch’s latest tweet, after the centre-back reacted to Monday’s defeat against Wolves.

The cool, composed centre-back wrote: ‘Already ready to bounce back!’

The Germany international, who joined from Freiburg for an initial £11.5 million back in the summer, was making his fifth Premier League start of the season.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t prevent Raul Jimenez from scoring what turned out to be a winning goal, but Koch didn’t let himself down one bit.

According to WhoScored, the 24-year-old made two tackles, five interceptions and won three aerial duels.

The German also embarked on one successful dribble against Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, striding forward with the ball to try and set up an attack.

The Leeds No.5 also completed 93% of his passes against Wolves, which was a better success rate than any of his teammates managed.

Judging by the replies to his tweet, it looks like Koch is becoming a real fan favourite at Elland Road, as well as a player who is getting better and better as one supporter mentions.
