‘Incredible, All over this’ – Some Leeds fans react as journalist posts exciting transfer update
Leeds United fans are very excited after it was reported that Norwich are ready to sell winger and playmaker Emiliano Buendia.
The news was revealed by PA journalist Nick Mashiter, who said that Leeds have retained their long-standing interest in the player.
Leeds need a long-term replacement for Pablo Hernandez and they need attacking reinforcements for next season.
That’s why Buendia is so appealing and why these Leeds fans are thrilled at the prospect of the player who lit up the 18/19 Championship landing at Elland Road.
Buendia can play in any of the three attacking spots on either flank or in midfield.
According to WyScout, Buendia played on both wings for Norwich in the Premier League but spent the majority in the right attacking-midfield role that Hernandez has made his own at Leeds.
With Hernandez unlikely to be able to play 90 minutes week-in, week-out, there’s a huge opportunity for someone like Buendia to come in and make that position his own in the future.
Josh Hobbs from Leeds stat site All Stats Aren’t We is among the fans and BA Analytics thinks Buendia would be a much better fit for Leeds than Benrahma.
And that’s in line with the reactions from a large number of Leeds fans – here’s just a selection of reactions to the news from Mashiter on Thursday…
