Leeds United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the signing of Yosuke Ideguchi from Gamba Osaka.

As announced on Leeds’s official website, the Championship club have agreed a fee with Osaka for the transfer of Ideguchi.

It has been announced that the 21-year-old midfielder will undergo a medical with the Whites next week.

Leeds have also announced that the Japan international will likely be loaned out to Cultural Leonesa for the rest of the season should he pass the medical test.

Ideguchi is a very talented and promising young midfielder, and the Whites have done well to snap him up.

The midfielder has already played 11 times for Japan and is likely to feature at the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia this summer.

While some Leeds fans are pleased to see the club sign such a promising footballer, there are others who want the club to focus on recruit players who can make an instant impact.

After all, the West Yorkshire outfit are aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship this season and stand a chance of getting promoted to the Premier League for the 2018-19 campaign.
