Leeds United supporters have responded with excitement to the announcement of Rafa Mujica joining from Barcelona.
The 20-year-old is the latest name to be confirmed after a busy week at the club . This week has already seen Helder Costa, Ben White and Liam McCarron join the club, while Jack Harrison and Jack Clarke will both be back next season on loan.
The club announced the attacker will go straight into Carlos Corberan’s under-23s with a view of breaking through into the first team.
Barcelona’s La Masia academy is world renowned, developing the likes of Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Gerard Pique, Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas, so it’s no surprise to see Leeds fans excited about the prospect of signing one of their players.
Here’s the response on Twitter:
Mujica seems interesting to be honest. Seems to be held in high regard in Spain. Barca fans seem to be either upset he’s leaving or expect him to do well! Could be very exciting in the future #lufc
