'Agent Raphinha' - Matheus Cunha's latest move will excite amid Leeds United transfer speculation

It may have all the hallmarks of what we witnessed last summer with Rodrigo De Paul, but the social media activity of Matheus Cunha could well have a far happier ending for Leeds United fans.

While Leeds were never really interested in De Paul, despite his representatives pushing the links to Leeds, the Whites have been keeping a close eye on Cunha and he is expected to feature on a shortlist of possible targets.

Which makes his latest move all the more interesting.

Earlier this week the Brazilian posted on his Instagram three pictures of him undergoing a workout routine in his home city of Joao Pessoa with the caption 'full recovery' as he prepares to participate in the 2020 Olympics with the Selecao's U23 side.

After a comment suggesting a move to Leeds would be the best he's ever made, Cunha was quick to like the post, sending many fans wild.

The 22-year-old's latest move is now likely to do the same after following Raphinha on Instagram for the first time.

@AIILeedsArentWe spotted Cunha's move to start following Raphinha on social media, with excitement building all over again.

A Brazilian footballer following another Brazilian on Instagram may not be such a big deal, but why now?

The 22-year-old will be a prized asset this summer if he is made available, having netted eight times and registered a further four assists in 28 matches across all competitions in 2020/21 for Hertha Berlin.
