Fans of Leeds United have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relayed the comments of Raphinha speaking in a recent interview with the club.

Speaking exclusively to LUTV, Raphinha, who joined United from Stade Rennais in a £16.72 million deal last October, said he will be “a lot happier” when fans are allowed to return to Elland Road.

Leeds previously posted a video snippet of his interview, and it seems that these latest quotes have also got the fans buzzing.

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

The winger, who has scored five goals and provided five assists over his 21 Premier League appearances for the Whites, went on to claim that he believes he is “more excited than the fans about getting together” as, after looking at the history of the club as well as the support he has received on social media, he is “really looking forward to actually feeling that affection in person”.

And, after Leeds United relayed the £58k-per-week 24-year-old’s comments on Twitter, fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many sharing messages of adoration for the Brazilian.
