Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which the club shared footage of Raphinha in action for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

In the footage, which was shared by the official Leeds United Twitter account, Raphinha picks up the ball in his own half during Sunday’s clash against Arsenal, before poking the ball through the onrushing Willian’s legs, with Leeds adding the comment: “Raphinha can nutmeg a mermaid!”

Starting with an easy one what shirt number does Bamford wear for Leeds United?

So, what did these Leeds United fans have to say in reaction to the footage of Raphinha?

Since moving to Leeds from Stade Rennais in what was a £16.72 million deal back in October, Raphinha has featured four times for Leeds, though has so far failed to score or provide an assist for the senior side.

Do you think Raphinha should keep his place in the Leeds starting XI?

However, the £16.2 million-rated 23-year-old did impress against Arsenal in what was his first start for Bielsa’s side, earning a WhoScored match rating of 7.07/10 – ranking him as the club’s third-best performer in the fixture.

All in all, it would appear the majority of these Leeds fans were delighted to see the footage of Raphinha getting one over on Willian, with some even suggesting that the winger is the new Pablo Hernandez.
