The Motherwell winger is reportedly bound for Leeds United this summer.
Leeds United fans are reacting to reports the Whites have agreed a deal for their first summer signing… in February.
According to the Scottish Sun, Leeds and Motherwell have settled on an initial £150,000 fee for Stuart McKinstry, the Scottish side’s 16-year-old right-winger.
McKinstry has yet to make his debut for the Well, but was named on the bench for their Boxing Day defeat against Kilmarnock and has impressed for Scotland at youth-team level – scoring for the Under-17s earlier this month.
It is likely that the youngster, for whom it is claimed Leeds could eventually have to pay £400,000, will be placed within the Whites’ development squad initially – following in the footsteps of recent Elland Road recruits, Leif Davis, Jordan Stevens, Ryan Edmondson and Sam Dalby.
But several of a Leeds persuasion are excited nonetheless [as long as he is better than the last player they signed from Fir Park].
This is what they’re saying on Twitter…
