Speaking to DAZN, Junior Firpo has revealed his main concern about life at Leeds, following his £12.8m move from Barcelona.
What’s the story?
Well, it’s a big move for the 24-year-old.
Firpo has never spent time outside of Spain during his senior career, having played for both Real Betis and Barcelona.
Now, the left-back has taken his first venture outside of Spain to join Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds, although he is worried about one thing in particular.
As quoted by DAZN, Firpo said: “What worries me the most is the cold. I am very cold, really.
“Today everyone is wearing shorts and I’m already wearing a sweatshirt, and I think I’m going to have a very bad time, especially playing, because my feet freeze.”
It’s always the weather – typical England!
If he thinks it’s cold now, Bielsa should probably warn him about what to expect when November and December come around…
Hopefully, Junior Firpo can settle
We have made light of his comments, but hopefully, the weather doesn’t actually result in Firpo leaving Leeds.
We often forget that footballers are humans, and if they don’t want to live somewhere, they don’t have to – just ask Angel Di Maria.
Leeds fans will like this one.
The Argentine and his wife – Jorgelina Cardoso – left Manchester after just one season at Old Trafford.
Cardoso opened called Manchester a “••••hole” and revealed that the entire experience was “horrible” as quoted by ESPN.
Hopefully, Firpo can overcome his initial problems in Yorkshire, and go on to have a long and successful stint at Leeds.
