The Norwich City star has sent a message to Leeds United new boy Tyler Roberts.

Tyler Roberts completed his move to Leeds United from West Bromwich Albion today.

Leeds are thought to have beaten a number of clubs to a £2.5 million deal for the 19-year-old striker which, according to The Express and Sport, could rise to £4 milion.

The youngster is the second British player to join the Whites this month after a £4.5million deal for Adam Forshaw a fortnight ago.

Overall, Roberts is the seventh player to join United in the January transfer window, but one of only a few who will compete in the first team rather than the Under-23s initially.

Roberts received plenty of congratulatory messages on Twitter, including from Norwich City’s James Maddison.

Maddison, 21, is enjoying a brilliant campaign with the Canaries, culminating in interest from the likes of West Ham United recently.

And Roberts will hope that he can emulate his friend and tear up the Championship too.
