Image for Leeds United: Fans gush over Rodrigo De Paul footage

Leeds United fans on Twitter have been sharing their reactions to recently emerged footage of Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul. 

This comes after footage was shared online (via @MedietaENn) of De Paul in action for Udinese during their recent 5-1 defeat against Napoli in Serie A.

Leeds' all-time top Premier League goalscorer is Mark Viduka but how many did he score?

The footage shows De Paul picking the ball up in his own half, making his way past two Napoli players with two different skill moves before bursting his way into the opposition half before making a pass out wide to one of his teammates.

This post then quickly grabbed the attention of a lot of Leeds fans who were not shy in sharing their thoughts on this latest footage of De Paul, who has been heavily linked with a move to Elland Road in the past – with many hoping Marcelo Bielsa’s side will reignite their interest in the Argentine this summer.

De Paul recently admitted to The Athletic that he is aware of the transfer rumours and that he is ‘relaxed’ about the current situation.

So, what did these Leeds fans have to say in response to this latest footage of De Paul?

@rodridepaul is Leeds and he knows it” 

@CoxieLUFC

“If that’s not a come and get me Bielsa, then nothing is”

@Petewoodhead99

Can do this at Elland Road next season @rodridepaul

@Conor_Smithy

“Top 4 finish next year if we sign RDP”

@ricky_bobbo

“Him and Raphinha just imagine”

@Irish_Leeds

DE PAUL SIGN HIM UP!!! #LUFC

@JOSHHM2392

Looking at the replies to this post, it’s clear to see that these Leeds fans were completely wowed by this footage of De Paul and would love to see him join their club during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Should Rodrigo De Paul be Leeds' number one transfer target this summer?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Given how the Argentine has scored more goals (9) and provided more assists (9) than any other Udinese player so far this season, as well as being their highest-rated player with an impressive overall season rating of 7.44/10 for his performances in Serie A (as per WhoScored), it’s understandable why these Leeds fans want to see their club enter negotiations for him this summer.
