The forward has burst onto the scene with Wigan and was a man in-demand this summer. But it is Leeds who have won the race, announcing the capture of the teenager very early on in the window.
It is another addition to an already exciting Leeds squad that is full of young talent.
Leeds fans, then, were obviously delighted with the business and took to Twitter to have their say on what should be a brilliant deal for the club in the long-term.
With that, here’s a look at how some Leeds fans reacted to the signing of Joe Gelhardt tonight.
