Some Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Leeds United winger Raphinha against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park tonight.

Raphinha was in action for Leeds in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle away from home in the Premier League.

Liverpool fans were impressed by the 24-year-old Brazilian winger and want the Reds to snap him up.

Well, some of them anyway, as you can see from the tweets below.

Raphinha was brilliant for Leeds against Newcastle and scored for the Whites in the first half.

The Brazilian was brilliant on his flank and caused the Newcastle defenders all sorts of problems.

The winger could have actually added to his tally.

Raphinha took four shots of which three were on target, played three key passes, had a pass accuracy of 70.6%, took 51 touches, made two tackles, and put in five crosses.

The Brazilian has actually been linked with a move to Liverpool.

The Independent reported earlier this month that Liverpool have been monitoring Raphinha since 2016.

We covered the report here on HITC Sport.

Raphinha is an explosive winger who scores goals, creates chances, puts in wonderful crosses, tracks back, and works hard for the team.

It is impossible that Leeds will sell the Brazilian in the January transfer window.
