Ian Wright has message new Leeds United signing Patrick Bamford wishing him well on Twitter.

Leeds signed Bamford from Middlesbrough for £7 million, and he scored his first goal for the Whites in midweek.

Bamford helped Leeds pick up a 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup, with a well placed finish.

After the message the forward put out a message on Twitter, celebrating his first goal for the Whites.

And Wright was keen to encourage Bamford to keep finding the back of the net at Elland Road.

Bamford may actually be Leeds’ second choice striker currently, as Kemar Roofe has started the campaign in blistering form.

Roofe scored twice for Leeds in their last league match against Derby County, with his performance seriously impressing.

Roofe looks likely to continue to lead the line for Leeds at the weekend when they take on Rotherham United, with Bamford dropping back to the substitutes’ bench for the time being.

Marco Bielsa’s side have won all three of their matches so far this campaign, and are now the bookies’ favourites to win the Championship.
