It has been four years since Leeds United fan favourite Luciano Becchio left the club.

The Argentine striker netted 75 league goals in 190 appearances throughout a memorable four-year spell at Elland Road.

And it is clear that the 33-year-old has retained an affection for the English club after posting a number of Leeds-related photos on his Instagram – including one of him kissing the crest.

Becchio was a hugely popular figure during his time in Yorkshire and the Atletico Baleares marksman still regularly ‘likes’ tweets that suggest Leeds should re-sign him.

Even though a return is unlikely in a playing capacity, the former Barcelona B striker will be encouraged about his old club’s movement in recent weeks.

Thomas Christiansen was appointed head coach last week following Garry Monk’s shock resignation, while United announced their first signing of the Dane’s era on Friday when Poland international Mateusz Klich joined.

Leeds kick off their Championship season on August 7 with a trip to Bolton Wanderers, and Becchio, along with every Whites supporter, will hope that plenty more new names have been added to the squad since.
