It could mean nothing, it could mean something, but it hasn’t stopped a number of Leeds United fans from jumping to conclusions when Donnohue relayed the news to the supporters on social media, with many rather excited at the idea of him signing at some point soon:

“Bright lad.”

“Young Kalvin Phillips”

@niefivor

“People were talking about the fact that England miss a deep-lying, creative midfielder. Bate is exactly that, can’t wait to see what Bielsa can do with him”

@Jack_T_92

“Haha this has to be him coming that’s some amount of followings from Leeds”

@LUFC_QUINNY

“Could be another gem through the door”

@Leemo_LUFC

Will Leeds get this deal done?

Yes

No

If only transfer deals were confirmed this way, it would save everyone a lot of time and effort waiting for the actual reveal.
