Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which the club shared a photo of their winger, Raphinha.

Since making his £16.72 million move to Leeds from Stade Rennais – signing a four-year deal with the club reportedly worth £60k per week – Raphinha has highly impressed over his 16 Premier League appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, scoring four goals and providing four assists, as well as averaging a WhoScored match rating of 7.01/10 – ranking him as the club’s joint-third-best performer in the top flight.

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

The £16.2 million-rated 24-year-old was once again impressive in the Whites’ most recent match, as although Leeds lost the fixture against Everton 2-1, Raphinha bagged himself a goal, with his WhoScored match rating of 7.82 ranking him as Bielsa’s best player in the game.

After the Leeds United account shared a photo of the winger on Twitter, fans of the club flocked to have their say on Raphinha, with many heaping praise on the Brazilian.
