A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to Phil Hay’s post about rival players who he would like to see at Leeds.
The Athletic journalist suggested that he would take Matheus Pereira from West Bromwich Albion, and it led to lots of Whites fans agreeing with Hay.
Who would you rather at Leeds?
Pereira
Bowen
In terms of players you'd take from other Championship clubs, Pereira's the one.

Pereira is quality and deserves to be playing premier league football

Other Leeds fans, though, would prefer Jarrod Bowen from Hull City.
Bowen is the one I’d take all day long ??

Bowen at Hull. The only one we need. Better than Dan James.
— DeanAtkinson (@DeanAtkinsonMBE) December 8, 2019
Bowen is the other

What do we think?
It is easy to see why so many Leeds supporters would take Pereira from the Baggies considering this season he has scored five goals and supplied a staggering 14 assists.
The 23-year-old, who is valued at £6.3m by Transfermarkt, is on a season-long loan from Sporting Lisbon, but West Brom have an obligation to buy for around £9m.
Pereira has blown away the Championship this year, so you can see why these Whites fans and Phil Hay would take him from their promotion rivals.
The other player mentioned heavily in the replies is Bowen. The 23-year-old right-winger who has developed a reputation for scoring goals in the Championship.
He already has 15 this season, and if he stays with Hull until May, do not be surprised to see him close to 25 again.
Both Pereira and Bowen are standout stars, and it is no surprise that many Whites fans want them.
