Supporters of Leeds United have been reacting to a Twitter post which was shared to social media by the chief football writer at the Yorkshire Evening Post, Graham Smyth.
On Monday morning, the journalist shared news on a player who was due to be moving to Elland Road (per Graham Smyth).
The player in question is 16-year-old Charlie Allen, who is due to be joining the Whites from Northern Irish side Linfield ‘this week‘.
Smyth went on to state in his tweet that he was described as a ‘very good’ footballer by ex-Leeds striker and current Linfield boss David Healy.
Lots of the Elland Road faithful then flocked to the Twitter post to air their thoughts on the move.
Expecting Charlie Allen's move to Leeds United from Linfield to be confirmed this week. Described as a 'very good' footballer by David Healy. #lufc

Really excited by this. Does this mean anything for Bogusz though? Look like they play a similar position

During the 2019/20 season, the youngster made three first-team appearances in the Danske Bank Premiership, in which he neither scored nor assisted (per Transfermarkt).
However, with an announcement yet to be made over a new contract for Marcelo Bielsa, some supporters were more bothered about that than their new signing.
Need to hear that Bielsa has extended his contract Graham.Seems to be dragging on.

Can you please confirm Bielsa has signed a 10 year deal so I can sleep at night ?

Are you nervous about Marcelo Bielsa signing a new contract?
No, it's going to happen
Yes, it's not for certain
As can be seen in these responses from Leeds fans, most were positive about the signing of the youngster. However, others were more concerned with Bielsa’s contract situation.
