Some Chelsea fans on Twitter are waxing lyrical about Leeds United star Raphinha after his performance at Elland Road today.

The 24-year-old Brazilian continues to look like quite a find for the West Yorkshire club.

Even the likes of Liverpool are already linked with signing the Leeds winger, who only joined Marcelo Bielsa’s side last summer.

The speculation is unlikely to die down after Raphinha offered more glimpses of his brilliance in the 0-0 draw with Chelsea this afternoon.

He was a constant threat to Thomas Tuchel’s side – particularly in the first half – and almost opened the scoring early in the second period, forcing Edouard Mendy into a brilliant save.

Here’s what some Blues fans were saying about the former Sporting attacker on Twitter:

He has indeed been a revelation for Leeds and increased speculation about his future is inevitable during the summer if he maintains this level of performance between now and the end of the season.

But United fans rightly won’t tolerate any talk of him leaving and nor should they.

He is very much a Leeds player and given how good he has looked under Bielsa so far, he won’t want to go anywhere either.
