Leeds United fans have been reacting on social media after the Whites announced the signing of Mateusz Bogusz.
Bogusz joins from Polish third-tier outfit Ruch Chorzow on a two-and-a-half year deal, which runs until the summer of 2021, having scored five goals in 19 games this season.
???? | #LUFC are pleased to announce the signing of midfielder Mateusz Bogusz from Ruch Chorzow

The 17-year-old will not be a part of Marcelo Bielsa’s roster, however, as the central midfielder, capable of playing throughout the spine of the team, will be joining Carlos Corberan’s U23 side at first.
Leeds had been tracking the seven-cap Poland U19 international for several months and he also earned the interest of Premier League outfit Brighton and Hove Albion, but Ruch Chorzow accepted United’s offer last week.
Bogusz’s arrival signals the Whites’ second confirmed transfer of the January window, after Kiko Casilla moved from Real Madrid on a free transfer earlier in the month.
Despite the teenager joining the U19s, many Leeds fans have been showing their excitement over the announcement…
If he’s anything like the other Mateusz on the team I’ll take it

Wonderkid undoubtedly. Looks a bit like a Grover Manza cross though which worries me

Glad to see Brexit hasn’t stopped talented & hard working Poles coming to Yorkshire – he’ll soon meet a talented Turkish barber somewhere in Leeds & all will be well.

Great signing

Bogus is a good prospect tbf. No reason why he couldn’t end up with a few features this season given his physique & fact he’s younger than Clarke. Hopefully James is next.
