Leeds Super Fans not happy with Lewis O’Brien links
This is part of a regular series from our panel of Leeds United Super Fans. Each week, Super Fans from our Leeds Insider Facebook page will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around Elland Road.
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Huddersfield Town midfielder Lewis O’Brien for a number of weeks.
The Sun has reported that it would take £10million to seal the deal, with talks intensifying over the past week.
Phil Hay backed up those claims for the Athletic, with Marcelo Bielsa even scouting O’Brien personally, saying a deal is there to be done.
With just over three weeks remaining in the window, Victor Orta is said to be glued to his phone trying to secure these moves.
Midfield is an area that certainly that needs working on and will be our priority for the remainder of the window.
Bielsa clearly likes what he sees in O’Brien, and will be pressing ahead for the deal to be completed.
Hopefully, that close relationship with the likes of Carlos Corberan can lead to a swift result and the deal being completed.
We asked our esteemed panel of Leeds Super Fans if they would be happy with this move, and the response was overwhelming.
The majority of them were not happy and slammed the reports, with one even claiming that it would be a depressing move.
Here’s what they said below…
It appears as though O’Brien isn’t the big name that many were expected, despite this likely being a move to provide back-up to our main men.
