These Leeds United fans are raving over Jean-Kevin Augustin being linked with a move to Elland Road.
According to The Athletic, Leeds are on the trail of RB Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin. This news was later relayed via Phil Hay on Twitter.
Augustin is currently on loan to AS Monaco in the French Ligue 1 but has failed to make any real impact at this level. He has played just 10 times for the French side so far this season and has only managed to register one assist and has failed to hit the back of the net, showing very little for his efforts in the league (Transfermarkt).
Here are some of the comments from the Leeds fans on Twitter:

Would you like Leeds United to sign Jean-Kevin Augustin?
Yes, he's amazing!
No, he's overrated!
Hay has also stated that the deal would be complicated, however, Marcelo Bielsa is apparently keen on getting Jean-Kevin Augustin to Leeds (Phil Hay on Twitter).
Be some pull that

Would be massive. Enough with the domestic market, way too expensive in January. #lufc

Get him in, he will get us up

What Do We Think?
It’s going to be very tough to attract such a high-level talent to join a Championship side, and also with Phil Hay stating that the deal is already going to be complicated, this looks like an impossible move. If it is possible, then of course we would 100% get this deal done.
