Junior Firpo may have only been a Leeds player for a couple of weeks, but he’s seemingly already realising just how talented the players he’s working with at Elland Road are.

Firpo has joined from Barcelona, where he played with some of the best footballers in the world, but despite sharing a pitch with Lionel Messi on a weekly basis, one Leeds player has seemingly already blown him away.

Indeed, after Leeds’ 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday evening, the Whites’ official account shared an Instagram post paying tribute to Jack Harrison, and Firpo has responded.

Harrison is a brilliant player, and it seems as though Firpo has already recognised that.

Imagine telling Leeds fans a few years ago that their left side would consist of a former Barcelona player and an ex-Manchester City winger. They’d think you were insane.

However, now that the Whites are a Premier League outfit they have the financial power and the pull to attract these types of talents.

Harrison has already made an impression on Firpo, and it seems as though he may continue to turn heads in this upcoming Premier League season.
