Eddie Nketiah may only be on-loan at Elland Road, but the fans have taken him in as one of their own, and as he’s been called up for England’s U21 fixtures against Kosovo and Turkey, the Leeds fans are delighted.

The young striker has more than earned his stripes too, in his four games as a Leeds United player so far this season the youngster has already bagged three goals, despite only two of his games coming as starts.
The chances are that he’ll be set to add to his goal tally in the next few weeks too, the only problem that the Whites will have is if their young loanee suffers any sort of injury, be it with them or with England, and some of them are vocally calling for him to avoid a knock whilst with England.
You can see what the Whites have had to say here:
Deservingly so

The Whites are desperate for Nketiah to stay fit, especially after seeing what he’s capable of over the last few weeks.
