Leeds United fans on Twitter aren’t buying into rumours that Samu Saiz could leave the club.

According to reports from El Gol Digital in Spain, Primera Division side Valencia are keen on signing the 27-year-old playmaker.

Saiz, a £3.1 million signing from Huesca last summer, has been exceptional for Leeds so far this season under Marcelo Bielsa.

The Elland Road faithful have really taken to the Spaniard over the past 12 months, and here is how they reacted to the prospect of losing him late in the transfer window.

The Whites sit top of the Championship and you could argue that their promotion hopes hinge on Saiz staying.

Yes, Bielsa has some other excellent players in his squad, including Pablo Hernandez, but Saiz is arguably the best and most creative player that United have.

If Director of Football Victor Orta sells him then he’d be reducing Leeds’ chances of Premier League promotion by quite a bit.
