Some Leeds fans were quick to get excited about the prospect, who has played 15 times in all competitions for Forest Green this season.
A really hot prospect this lad, more than a few Premier League sides wanted his signature.

Some were a little hesitant over his arrival.
Fair do,s but why aint we buying players for the 1st team moving the dead wood out..all signings are kids going into under 23s

Wouldn’t of it made more sense to loan him straight back to them, he’s got to compete with thousands of other under 23s to get a sniff of a game here
