Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest social media post from Arsenal attacker Eddie Nketiah.
This comes after the forward recently shared a post on his official Twitter page quote-tweeting a post from the official Leeds Twitter account that contained an image of Nketiah and Tyler Roberts hugging before the 0-0 draw between the two teams at the weekend.
In response to Leeds’ post, Nketiah said: “Good to see some friendly faces, hope both sets of fans are keeping safe.”
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were quick to share their responses to the Arsenal man.
So, what did these Leeds fans make of Nketiah’s post?
Classy as ever Eddie, shame we weren’t there to give you a good reception

Looking at the replies to this post from Nketiah, it’s clear that these Leeds fans still have a lot of respect and admiration for the attacker, even though he doesn’t play for the club anymore.
Given how Nketiah, who is valued at £18 million (as per Transfermarkt), managed to score some goals for the club during his spell there, it’s no surprise that he is a popular figure with these Leeds fans.
