Huddersfield striker Nahki Wells has denied any deal is in place with Leeds after he started following them on Twitter.
The 24-year-old Bermudian began following the Yorkshire club’s official Twitter account on Tuesday, which sparked speculation that he might be making a big-money move to Elland Road.
However, the former Bradford star then posted on his Twitter account saying it had been a mistake and that he had never meant to follow Leeds.

The initial follow on Twitter may understandably have caused panic among Huddersfield fans, as the striker has been linked with a move this summer.
