Leeds United fans are understandably delighted after the club announced the signing of Junior Firpo from Barcelona.
The 24-year-old left-back has agreed a four-year deal at Elland Road after the clubs agreed a £13m transfer fee.
Firpo's arrival has been expected for the past week after it was confirmed he was Leeds' number one signing priority, with the player flying into the country at the weekend to complete a brief period of isolation before undergoing a medical last night and completing the paperwork on his contract.
Leeds fans were already excited about the possibility of the Barcelona player arriving and now are over the moon to see it completed, with the deal seen as a real statement of intent by the Whites.
Here is a selection of what Leeds fans are saying on social media.
@Jordan_Armo: Firpo x Harrison Ayling x Raphinha the Prem just ain't ready
@Stephen_LUFC: Look at us. Only signing players from bloody Barcelona now. Welcome to Leeds Firps
@scottlufc32 : We just signed a Barcelona player. Only a few seasons ago we were struggling in the championship.
@DavidBoyd91: Love him already. What another piece of business by @LUFC and Orta!
@TSSLUFC: Sounds like we've got a bit of a bargain on our hands here. A proper left back too, which is like rocking horse droppings at #LUFC
@LGOPJake: Leeds signing Barcelona players shows that as a club they well and truly are back where they belong.
@DanielFMPro: Liked what I saw of #JuniorFirpo at #RealBetis under #Setién : good at covering the whole wing attacking deep/spaces behind opposition FB Unsurprisingly, with Jordi #Alba around didn’t get much continuity at #FCBarcelona. But plenty for #Bielsa & #LUFC to work with IMHO
@BremnerLeeds: Orta and those behind the scenes deserve so much credit #lufc is now a well run machine filled with passion, direction and drive to succeed Going the extra mile to get deals done showcasing the project, style and club for how great it is and where it’s heading. Exciting times!
@tommy_lufc: I don’t think I’ll ever adjust to this new reality where we are raiding cash-strapped Barcelona for players.
@MrAman_Singh: If you told me this time 4 years ago we'd be signing a left back from Barcelona I'd have thought you were crazy! I'd be more likely to believe that we got relegated tbh
