'Just what we need', 'Highly rated' - Leeds fans are excited by potential major deadline day deal

As reported by The Express, Leeds United are pursuing a deadline day deal for West Bromwich Albion forward Tyler Roberts.

The paper say that the club are in advanced talks to bring him to Elland Road and that he could complete a medical and sign before tonight’s 11pm deadline.

The deal is reported to be worth around £2.5m, rising to £4m.

Thomas Christiansen’s side are still chasing a play-off place in the second-tier but could do with adding some attacking firepower to their squad, with most of the teams above them having scored more goals so far this season.

Roberts, who has only just turned 19, has spent the first half of this term on loan at League One side Walsall, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 19 appearances.

Given his age and potential, Leeds fans are excited by the signing, believing he’ll prove to be an excellent acquisition in the months and years to come.

They took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the potential deal…

Tyler Roberts is just what we need. Young, hungry, quick and has quality in his touch. Oh, and he’s ready for the 1st team! Cracking signing. #lufc

AC Milan were one of the Italian teams keeping tabs on Tyler Roberts, so he must have something about him. #LUFC

If we sign Roberts I’ll take back everything I’ve said about Radrizzani this January, then it’s on to worrying about keeping our best players next season 😂😂 #lufc

Tyler Roberts will be a great signing for us. Good for Wales and Leeds. Which is very good for a Welsh #lufc fan.

Tyler Roberts looked a good player at Shrewsbury last year, haven’t seen much of him this year while at Walsall but no risk with that sort of fee #LUFC

4 goals and 2 assists in 12 games when Roberts was at Shrewsbury at just 18! This lads highly rated #lufc

If we sign Tyler Roberts, it has been a very decent January transfer window. #lufc

The Tyler Roberts signing reminds me of Ollie Watkins and Che Adams, I’m happy with that 👍🏻 #lufc
