Leeds United are the latest club to be credited with an interest in Aberdeen’s Sam Cosgrove.

Leeds United fans are reacting to reports linking their side with the Aberdeen striker, Sam Cosgrove.

The Scottish Sun claims Leeds scouts watched Cosgrove in action against Celtic at the weekend, alongside their Derby County and Middlesbrough equivalents.

And they would have seen the 23-year-old – who, like the Whites midfielder Kalvin Phillips, is understood to be represented by the former Elland Road left-back, Kevin Sharp – score his 20th goal in 26 games this season before being sent off.

Leeds may soon be in the market for a new centre forward, amid talk of an early return to Arsenal for Eddie Nketiah.

And six-foot-three Cosgrove could be the perfect replacement, given the Whites‘ lack of a physical attacking presence when Patrick Bamford doesn’t play.

But what do Leeds fans make of the rumour?

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

The new Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack recently warned interested clubs that his players will not be allowed to leave on the cheap next month.

And according to The Sun, Leeds may have to pay £4 million if they want to sign the Yorkshireman, born in Beverley.
