Many Leeds fans gripped by social media activity of reported target: ‘It’s happening, isn’t it?’
Leeds United fans are expecting RB Leipzig forward Jean-Kevin Augustin to head to Elland Road this month based on his recent Twitter activity.
Augustin, 22, has liked a series of tweets by Leeds fans who have tagged him on the social media website and mentioned about how he is going to join them in the Championship.
RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi has reported via his personal Twitter account that Augustin is due to have a medical with Leeds on Monday after reports emerged that his loan deal with Monaco had been terminated early.
Augustin joined Monaco on a season-long loan from Leipzig in the summer but after starting just two Ligue 1 fixtures, he has seen his spell in the principality come to a premature end.
Leeds now look set to snap up the French centre-forward, who has offered a major hint that he is going to join the Yorkshire club by liking so many tweets about him by Leeds supporters.
Fans are understandably excited by the prospect of Augustin signing for their club this month based on his social media activity.
Here is a selection of their tweets:
