'Ian Wright's a Leeds fan' - Arsenal legend's message to Kalvin Phillips has Whites fans talking

He's been Eddie Nketiah's biggest fan since he completed his move to west Yorkshire but Ian Wright looks to have developed a soft spot for another Leeds United star.

The Arsenal legend took to social media after the news broke that Kalvin Phillips had put pen-to-paper on a five-year contract at Elland Road.

It was big news for the promotion-chasing side who almost lost their star man to Aston Villa over the summer, but instead the 23-year-old will stay with the Whites in the hope of going up this time around.

Responding to the news on Twitter, Ian Wright responded with a 'thumbs up' emoji, before saying: "Delighted for you KP".

As you can imagine, this sort of support from one of the Premier League's top strikers got Leeds United fans talking.

Many were delighted to get the support of the Arsenal legend, while others were quick to suggest that the striker was now part of the Leeds family.

Here's what they had to say on social media.
