Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after watching some 9-second footage of Junior Firpo going up against Kylian Mbappe.

What’s the story?

Well, The Athletic believe the left-back is on the verge of signing for Leeds.

A £12.8 million deal has been agreed with the financially periled Barcelona, for a player they spent £27.5 million on – what a bargain for Leeds.

Firpo’s arrival is set to be announced sometime this week, if not today.

Amid the talk about his imminent arrival, one Twitter user found a video of the 24-year-old up against one of Europe’s best players, Mbappe.

What does the footage show?

Well, it’s only a short clip, but it seems to have won over some Leeds fans.

The footage shows Mbappe trying to escape the attention of Firpo in a Champions League meeting between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Interestingly, the Frenchman seems to get frustrated, and pulls Firpo’s shirt.

Judging by the reaction below, the Leeds fans loved what they saw.
