Barrow joined the Whites on loan from Swansea City on transfer deadline day.
New Leeds United signing Mo Barrow has told LUTV that the he wanted to make the move to Elland Road in the summer and that the club were keen on a deal.
Barrow joined the Whites on loan from Swansea City until the end of the season on transfer deadline day earlier this week, in a deal which can be made permanent in the summer.
The Gmabian had made 16 appearances for the Swans in the first half of the current campaign before being allowed to leave for West Yorkshire.
Now, he will be bringing his pace and attacking qualities to Garry Monk’s side for the final three months of the campaign as they look to secure long-awaited promotion back to the Premier League.

However, it appears as though Leeds fans could have been watching him in action for their side since September, as Barrow revealed that both he and the club were keen on striking a deal back last summer.
Barrow told LUTV: “I knew there was interest since the summer. I was willing to come and help the team but it didn’t happen in the summer.
“Now I am finally here and I am finally ready to push on.”
Though Barrow, along with fellow new signing Alfonso Pedraza, was not eligible for the win at Blackburn Rovers in midweek, he will be available for selection for this weekend’s Yorkshire derby with Huddersfield Town.
