He was, though, sold in 2018 to raise funds amid the arrival of new head coach Marcelo Bielsa to Serie A outfit Sampdoria.

Vieira earned acclaim among supporters for his no-nonsense style of play and was another of a number of exciting youngsters to emerge from Thorp Arch.

He represented England's Under-21s while on the books at Elland Road despite also being eligible to play for Portugal and Guinea Bissau.
