Former Leeds United star Lewis Cook impressed against the old enemy on Saturday.
Quite a few Leeds United fans on Twitter are raving about Lewis Cook.
The Bournemouth midfielder posted a fine performance in the Cherries’ late 2-1 defeat by old Leeds enemy Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.
Cook, who left the Whites to join Bournemouth in 2016, played a wonderful reverse pass in the build-up to the hosts’ opener through Callum Wilson.
It was such a good pass, in fact, that some fans of the Elland Road took to Twitter to praise the 21-year-old.
More than two years since the transfer, you wonder whether Leeds – then owned by Massimo Cellino – got a bum deal with the Cook transfer.
According to The Daily Mail, United received only £6 million for his sale, which seemed like a decent fee at the time, but it’s worth bearing in mind that Cook has since established himself as a Premier League regular and won an England cap.
Considering his age and his immense potential, few can be surprised if that £6 million fee looks like peanuts in the coming years.
