Leeds United have been excelling under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa this season, who has led the squad to significant improvements.

A number of first-team players have developed extremely well under the guidance of the former Athletic Bilbao and Marseille boss, which will have left some fans wondering how he would get on with some of the players currently on loan away from Elland Road.

One player who is spending time elsewhere this season is Caleb Ekuban, the 24-year-old Italian football who is currently plying his trade in Turkey with Trabzonspor – where he caught plenty of attention at the weekend.

Ekuban scored his second league goal of the season in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Kayserispor, where the young striker featured despite losing his mother just a few days previously – which led to an emotional celebration.

Leeds fans soon picked up on the incident and discussed it on social media. We have gathered some of their reactions below.
