Some Celtic fans on Twitter are worried about Leo Hjelde’s latest move on social media, amid speculation about a move to Leeds United.

The 18-year-old has started following Leeds’ official account on Instagram.

It has been reported that by The Yorkshire Evening Post that the big teenager is among the Whites’ top targets in terms of young players this summer.

And some Celtic fans on Twitter are fearing that a move to Elland Road is very much on the cards.

Here’s how they reacted:

Gem?

Celtic could be losing an absolute gem here.

His former Ross County boss, John Hughes, has already confidently stated that this is the next Virgil van Dijk.

But with the Norway under-18 international’s contract at Parkhead expiring in a year, Leeds could be snapping him for absolute peanuts, which will add insult to injury from a Hoops’ perspective.

Hjelde joined the Scottish Premiership giants in 2019 on a three-year deal, before spending the second half of last season on loan at Ross County.
