Leeds United are back in the Premier League after a dominant Championship-win, and they’re determined not to go straight back down. Manager Daniel Farke, who secured his third Championship title (his first two were with Norwich), has a point to prove.
This time, Leeds are taking no chances. Their summer recruitment shows clear intent to stay up. They’ve added Premier League experience with midfielder Sean Longstaff and brought in free-agent forward Lukas Nmecha to boost creativity. But it’s their defensive signings that stand out — Anton Stach Sebastian Bornauw and Jaka Bijol who are all over 6’3″, bring serious aerial presence.
Leeds were already a set-piece threat, scoring 11 goals from corners last season. By adding more height and strength, they aim to keep that edge. Stats show it matters: last season’s relegated teams were among the worst at scoring from set pieces, while Everton’s 14 such goals helped keep them safe.
With a smart transfer strategy focused on physicality and proven league experience, Leeds are building a team designed for survival.
