Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest social media post from Leeds journalist Phil Hay.
This comes after Hay shared a post on his official Twitter account revealing that Leeds are ‘pushing to sign England youth international Jadan Raymond from Crystal Palace’.
Hay also mentioned in his post that the ‘talented midfielder has rejected a first pro deal at Selhurst Park’.
Included in Hay’s post was an article from The Athletic explaining this latest piece of transfer news concerning the Yorkshire club.
This post from Hay then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this latest transfer news.
Here’s a sample of Leeds fans responding to the post:

The report reads: ‘The 16-year-old is one of a crop of highly-rated players in Palace’s youth ranks and became eligible to sign a scholarship contract in January but discussions broke down and he informed the club of his intention to leave. Raymond’s current contract with Palace expires on Tuesday, June 30, but he has been free to discuss terms with clubs since June 6.’
The Bielsa effect. ?

Brilliant.

Speaking to a couple of palace fans I know and they’ve said he’s a talent, fingers crossed considering we always seem to produce good youth that gets sold on??

Now that Hay has shared this latest transfer news on his official Twitter account, this paved the way for lots of Leeds fans to share their views on the matter.
Do Leeds need to sign a midfielder this summer?
Yes
No
However, there were some Leeds fans responding to the post who were not as excited about this news as others were.
what injury has he got then?

What is it with Leeds,signing a lot of so called potential then don’t give them a chance in first team,which is threadbare and lacking decent squad cover…

We need back up strikers. Doesn’t look like Biesla fancies edmondson. Absolutely wafer thin on this front. Shocking for a club the size of leeds

It appears that the majority of these Leeds fans are quite excited by the prospect of Raymond heading to Elland Road in the near future.
Whether Raymond will make the move to Leeds this summer or not is yet to be seen, but if Leeds are indeed pushing for a deal, they must see something in the teenager to make them want to sign him.
