Leeds United fans have taken to social media to express their approval of potential signing Samu Saiz.
It was recently reported in the Yorkshire Evening Post that the 26-year-old attacking midfielder would undergo medicals test with the Whites at the start of next week as the club and Spaniard are in advanced stages of a deal.
The striker made a valuable contribution to Huesca’s 2016/17 campaign after he netted 12 goals during his 44 appearances, and the Yorkshire club are expected to pay around £2.5 million for him.
Leeds fans showed that they were eager for the Spanish playmaker’s move to Elland Road to be confirmed – some were even showing signs of impatience.

New Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen looks to be making an impact during his first transfer window with the club, as Saiz would be the manager’s third signing in just a week, after midfielders Mateusz Klich and Madger Gomes were both confirmed to be joining Elland Road.
Christiansen was named as United’s newest manager earlier in the month after the club was left without a boss for three weeks when Garry Monk made his shock resignation.
The new Whites boss is looking to bolster his squad ahead of the club’s 2017/18 campaign in the hopes of improving on Leeds’ impressive seventh place finish in the Championship last season.
