Leeds United fans react to double deadline day signings

Leeds United delved into the transfer window yesterday on deadline day to make two new signings.

The Whites have brought in 19-year-old goalkeeper Illan Meslier on a loan deal from FC Lorient. The 6ft 6inc stopper is a France Under-20 international and Leeds do have an option to buy him on a permanent deal at the end of the season.

Meslier has risen up through the youth ranks at Lorient and is being tipped for a big future. He will offer more competition and depth to Leeds’ goalkeeping department.

Marcelo Bielsa then sharpened his attack by landing the in-demand Eddie Nketiah on a season-long loan from Arsenal.

Nketiah has represented England at U18, U19, U20 and U21 levels so far and he made his debut for the Gunners’ senior side in September 2017, coming off the bench as an 89th substitute in a Europa League game against BATE Borisov.

He then made his next appearance in a League Cup tie against Norwich City a month later and scored twice to send Arsenal into the next round. He has since played in 13 more games for the Gunners but hasn’t added to his goal tally.

Here is how the Leeds fans have reacted on Twitter to their signings yesterday-
