This kid looks really good, and if the report is right we missed out because we would pay his travel expenses. Sounds familiar.
Ronaldo Vieira's former coach has claimed that the Leeds United prospect may well have ended up joining Hull City before his move to Elland Road, but
the Tigers turned down the chance to sign him for one particular reason, the
Yorkshire Evening Post reports.
Vieira - who was born in Guinea-Bissau but was raised in Portugal - moved to England in 2011. In 2015, he signed for Leeds United's academy and within a year was playing for the first-team, quickly becoming a key part of Garry Monk's plans.
But, according to Simon Collins - who has worked for Leeds and Manchester City in the past - Hull City and Leeds'
Championship rivals Barnsley were given the chance to sign the youngster after City had said no and before he came to Thorp Arch, but both turned him down.

With Hull it was more down to the fact that they weren't willing to pay for his travel. I think they were keen but it wasn't really possible for him to get there without some help
