Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the signing of Josh Galloway and Carlisle United manager Steven Pressley’s comments about losing him.

As announced on Leeds’s official website, the Championship club have signed 17-year-old midfielder Galloway from League Two outfit Carlisle.

The talented and promising young midfielder has made the move to the Whites on scholarship terms.

Galloway has a lot of potential, and his ability to play in the centre of midfield or out wide will help him break into the Leeds first team in the future.

Carlisle manager Pressley is not pleased to lose the youngster to Leeds and has expressed his disappointment and frustration, as quoted in The Yorkshire Evening Post.

Leeds have a very good academy, and Galloway could also get the chance to train under head coach Marcelo Bielsa, and one suspects that the youngster has made the decision carefully.

The Yorkshire Evening Post quotes Pressley as saying about Galloway: “It’s circumstances of the system, to a degree, because I spoke with young Josh on two occasions, I told him to speak to his parents on this and I expressed the fact that I didn’t want him to leave the club.

“I wanted him to develop here and play football here, I felt that was the best line for his development. He wasn’t in agreement with that.”

Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the signing of Galloway and to the comments made by Pressley.
