'Problem solved' - Leeds fans lose their minds as defender agreement is confirmed
Leeds United fans have lost their minds with excitement on Twitter after it was confirmed on Wednesday that an agreement has been reached for Tyler Denton to return from his loan spell at Port Vale.

The Elland Road faithful are excited by the news, because Thomas Christiansen’s side has been severely lacking a natural left-back this season, forcing Vurnon Anita and Gaetano Berardi to play the bulk of their game time there.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson was the only natural left-back available before Denton’s return to Yorkshire, but the Manchester United loanee has been well out of the picture after failing to impress in his chances in the first-team.
However now that Denton is back, Leeds fans are hopeful that Christiansen will start to play a natural left-back in the correct position from now on.
Here is a selection of their tweets:
Maybe the best solution as we have Berardi

Denton made 21 appearances across all competitions for Port Vale in the first half of the season, and although some fans want it to happen, the defender will be unable to play against Newport County in the FA Cup this weekend due to being cup-tied.
