Leeds have agreed a new sponsor, but fans were hoping for better deadline day news.

Leeds United fans have anxiously hoping their club can pull a rabbit out of the hat on transfer deadline day to boost their current playing squad.

But so far the only announcement from the club has come in unexpected form, with the club agreeing a new sponsor.

To be specific, Leeds have tied up an new ‘Official Energy Sponsor’.

It is safe to say that on transfer deadline day – this was not the announcement Leeds United fans have been hoping for.

Supporters on Twitter were not shy in letting the Whites know that they expected to see players, not utility companies, being announced.

Here is a look at some of the responses…

While no players are yet incoming, fans should perhaps be relieved that the announcement of a new energy supplier is not the announcement of player of the season Charlie Taylor being sold.

The new deal does indicate more money coming into the club, but time is fast running out to spend it.
