Leeds United supporters' glee as 'ridiculously good' Sonny Perkins completes transfer

Leeds United fans have been reacting on social media to the news that 18-year-old Sonny Perkins has joined the club.

Perkins has joined the Whites after his deal at West Ham United expired, and he has signed a contract at Elland Road that will keep him at the club until 2025. West Ham were 'extremely disappointed' to lose Perkins, who departed the club on July 1.

The forward, who scored 10 goals in 20 Premier League 2 appearances last season, will initially link up with the Leeds under-21s side. Here's how Leeds United fans on social media reacted to the news.
