Many Leeds United supporters have been responding to a recent post from the club in which they shared some footage of Rodrigo scoring in training for the Spanish national team.
The Whites recently secured the signing of the 29-year-old for a club-record fee of €29m (£26m) and the former Valencia striker has signed a four-year deal at Elland Road.
Last season, the Brazilian-born forward made 34 appearances in all competitions for the La Liga club, scoring seven goals and providing his teammates with 11 assists (as per Transfermarkt.co.uk).
Having had a glimpse of their new star on social media, here is how a sample of the club’s fans have responded.
Can’t believe this is real life lads

Are you confident Rodrigo can score at least 10 Premier League goals next season?
Yes
No
Judging by the above responses, many of these Leeds United supporters are buzzing about the prospect of Rodrigo turning out for Marcelo Bielsa’s side next season. However, not everybody was as excited by the footage.
Bamford can do all of that and more.

Patrick Bamford led the line for the Championship winners last season, scoring 16 goals and providing four assists in 45 league appearances (as per Transfermarkt.co.uk). With Rodrigo’s arrival, it remains to be seen whether the former Chelsea striker will thrive under the increased competition or become a regular fixture on the substitutes’ bench.
