Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking Tyler Roberts with Newcastle United.

According to The Daily Mail, Newcastle are interested in signing Roberts from Premier League rivals Leeds in the summer transfer window.

The Wales international attacker is out of contract at the Whites at the end of next season, but the West Yorkshire club have offered him a new long-term deal, according to the report.

Leeds reportedly value the 22-year-old – who can operate as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder – at £10 million, and Newcastle are monitoring development on his future.

Roberts is a very talented and promising young player who can play as a striker, winger and attacking midfielder.

The 22-year-old has done relatively well when he has been called into action, but he is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup.

The youngster has made 14 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds this season, providing two assists in the process.

Patrick Bamford is banging in the goals for fun as a number 9, while Jack Harrison and Raphinha are regulars on the wing.

Signed from Valencia last summer, Spain international Rodrigo can play in multiple positions and is a more senior player.
