Leeds United terminated Lewis Baker’s loan in January.
Not a lot of Leeds United fans shed tears when Lewis Baker had his season-long loan agreement terminated in January.
Leeds signed the Chelsea midfielder until the end of this season last summer, but the Whites’ hierarchy decided to send him back to West London after struggling at Elland Road.
Baker, on £20,000 per week with the Blues [Spotrac], started only two Championship games for United under Marcelo Bielsa, with most of his 14 appearances across all competitions coming as a substitute.
But it looks like the 23-year-old has landed on his feet.
Reading signed up Baker on a half-season loan following his departure from West Yorkshire and the midfielder has been a big hit with the Royals fans.
The Berkshire side beat Wigan Athletic 3-2 at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday, and fans of the hosts were absolutely raving about Baker’s 90-minute performance.
Here is how the former Leeds man was received by his new supporters.
Leeds fans may get to see how much Baker has improved on Tuesday when Reading host Bielsa’s side.
