'Already in love' Leeds United fans react after Eddie Nketiah's debut goal

Less than a week after his Deadline Day loan switch from Arsenal, Eddie Nketiah has already brought out his scoring boots and risen to the occasion on his debut.

The England talent was named in the starting line up for the Carabao Cup first round clash with Salford City and, after a difficult first half for Leeds, opened the scoring from close range minutes before the interval.

Drafted into the club as a replacement for Kemar Roofe, who joined Anderlecht in the summer transfer window, fans are hoping that Nketiah will be a huge addition to the club.

With promotion the aim this season, the pressure on the striker's shoulders is significant but he certainly got things off to a flying start after striking on his debut.

With an assist provided by fellow new addition Helder Costa, Leeds fans believe they have a duo that can be the platform for success during the 2019/20 campaign.
