Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation that Junior Firpo is about to join from Barcelona.
What’s the story?
According to Sport, Leeds are on the verge of signing Junior from Barcelona.
The left-back will move to Elland Road in the summer transfer window for €15 million (£12.89 million).
An agreement between Leeds, Barcelona and Junior could be reached this week.
What are Leeds United fans saying?
As you can see from the tweets below, Leeds fans are actually excited at the prospect of Junior moving to Elland Road.
The Spaniard has not had the best of times at Barcelona, but he is a very good left-back who did well at Real Betis.
Ezgjan Alioski did well at left-back last season, but the North Macedonia is a winger by trade.
Moreover, Alioski is out of contract tomorrow, and no new deal is in place yet.
Some Leeds fans believe that Junior will hit the ground running at the Whites and will show his class against Jadon Sancho on the very first day of the 2021-22 Premier League campaign.
Leeds will kick off their new season with an away game against Manchester United.
England international winger Sancho could be part of that United team.
The Telegraph are reporting that the Red Devils could formally agree a deal with Dortmund for the winger this week.
