Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest social media post from former Whites striker Jermaine Beckford. 

This comes after Beckford shared a post on his official Twitter page that contained footage of himself at home watching Leeds winger Raphinha pulling off a nice skill move in the Yorkshire club’s recent Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

Nice easy one to start off with, what number does Phillips wear for Leeds United?

This post from Beckford then quickly grabbed the attention of a lot of Leeds fans who were not shy in sharing their responses to Beckford’s post.

So, what did these Leeds fans have to say in response to this latest post from Beckford on Raphinha?

Leeds signed Raphinha back in the previous summer transfer window from French club Stade Rennais for a fee of £16.72 million.

Since then, the winger, who is currently valued at £16.2 million, has made 18 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side in which he has managed to score four goals and provide four assists along the way (per Transfermarkt).

Is Raphinha Leeds' best player?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Looking at the replies to this post from Beckford, it’s clear to see that these Leeds fans were over the moon with what they saw from Raphinha during the game against Palace, particularly with this piece of skill he brought out against Gary Cahill.

Given how the 24-year-old managed to earn himself a decent match rating of 7.1/10 for his performance against Roy Hodgson’s side, this backs up why these Leeds fans were delighted with him.
