Leeds United fans have reacted to a transfer rumour regarding Gavin Whyte.

According to Sky Sports, Leeds are in talks with Northern Irish champions Crusaders to sign the 22-year-old winger.

The report suggests that the Whites have lodged a bid but Crusaders are yet to accept a formal offer for the young star, who has 24 goals this season.

Here is how Leeds fans reacted to the rumour on Twitter:

Whyte isn’t exactly the high-profile name that fans of the Elland Road side are pining for after a terrible Championship season, but there is a difference between a big name and a big player and if he winds up being the latter then few on West Yorkshire will care.

That’s if they can sign him, because Sky Sports indicated that up to 10 other English and Scottish clubs are potentially interested, which is a positive sign as far as his potential goes.

Paul Heckingbottom’s side, who can’t finish higher than 12th, face QPR at Elland Road in their last game of the season on Sunday.
