Supporters of Leeds United have been flocking to a Twitter post from the Whites’ Portuguese winger Helder Costa.
On Thursday, it was the Whites’ first day back in training at Thorp Arch in preparation for the 2020/21 Premier League season (via Leeds Live).
The top-flight campaign is set to kick off in just under a month on 12th September (per Premier League).
Following Leeds’ first training session back, Costa posted to Twitter with three images of himself from that day’s session (per Helder Costa).
Alongside the images, he stated: ‘Feels good to be back with the boys. Ready to work hard again’.
Lots of supporters then flocked to the tweet to air their thoughts.

During the 2019/20 Championship season, the 26-year-old attacker made 43 league appearances for Leeds in which he bagged four goals and four assists (per WhoScored).
Do you think Helder Costa is good enough to be a starter in the Premier League?
No, he's not good enough
Yes, he's a good player
Love it lad ?

Not only was the winger’s goals return solid, but his average rating of 6.72/10 in the Championship was also fairly respectable (per WhoScored).
However, that only left him as the 12th-best performer in Marcelo Bielsa’s squad during the 2019/20 season.
Looking good Helder ?
