Romario Vieira is on the verge of a breakthrough into the Leeds first team.
Leeds United youngster Romario Vieira has posted a defiant message on Twitter, stating that he will give “120 per cent at all times” – and Leeds fans have reacted by urging Paul Heckingbottom to include him in the first team.
Vieira, 19, who is Ronaldo Vieira’s twin, is yet to make his senior debut for Leeds despite starring in Carlos Corberan’s Under-23 side this season from the middle of the park.
However, he has made the substitutes’ bench on two occasions, remaining an unused sub against Hull City and Cardiff City as twin Ronaldo continues to impress despite his young age in central midfield.
The Whites face Championship league leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday night and Vieira posted a message on Twitter ahead of the game, declaring that he will always be up for the challenge.
Eunan O’Kane was appalling against Middlesbrough last time out while Kalvin Phillips has dropped to the bench and even Ronaldo has been criticised at times this season. It could see Heckingbottom include fresh blood against Wolves.
Leeds fans are desperate to see another of Thorp Arch’s esteemed academy break his way into the first team, replying to Vieira’s tweet with messages expressing their desire to see Vieira in Heckingbottom’s senior squad.
