‘Unbelievable’ – Some Leeds fans thrilled as ‘one of the biggest prospects in Europe’ is linked
Leeds United fans are thrilled to see that the club has been linked with a move to sign Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis.
ESPN reported earlier this week that Leeds are keeping their tabs on the 20-year-old midfielder, who has also emerged on the radars of Manchester United, AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen.
Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb also reported Leeds’ interest in the Portugal Under-21 international, adding that the Whites have requested information on the holding midfielder and that he’s been eyed up as someone to sign upon promotion to the Premier League.
Although Florentino is not the most well-known player in Europe, some Leeds fans already have an opinion on the youngster – and that is that he’d be a superb addition to Marcelo Bielsa’s squad.
Florentino does have a lot of potential but we cannot help but think that Bielsa does not need to sign such a good defensive midfielder when he already has Phillips. Sure, we could do with a strong back-up for Phillips but not one as expensive as Florentino is bound to be.
That’s our opinion but these Leeds fans are thinking differently and here is a selection of their tweets:

Other fans have seemed to made their mind up on Florentino based on his stats in games like Football Manager, which is always a good game for highlight potential wonderkids.
In other Leeds United news, fans are in 100 per cent agreement with Phil Hay’s tweet about Elland Road once the season resumes.
