A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to praise Diego Llorente following his interview with BBC Radio West Yorkshire Sport.

The 27-year-old has endured a difficult first season at Elland Road, not making his Whites debut until December due to an injury picked up on international duty.

Llorente then suffered two more injuries, but he’s been great since returning in late February, delivering superb displays against the likes of Southampton and Chelsea.

In his latest interview, the Spaniard explained how he turned his time on the sidelines into a positive experience as he familiarised himself with his new surroundings.

“I made a conscious effort because I couldn’t help the team on the field so what I wanted to do was really immerse myself in everything; what Leeds United means as a club and also as a city,” he said.

Needless to say, Leeds fans loved Llorente’s comments, showing not only that he has class on the pitch but also off it.

Here is what some of the Elland Road faithful said on social media:

Up next for Marcelo Bielsa’s side is Friday’s Premier League trip to Fulham.
