Leeds United investor and professional golfer Justin Thomas has made something clear about Daniel Farke’s side getting promoted.
Many American investors have come together to support Leeds’ project with the 49ers.
It’s an ambitious project that has seen many famous faces in and out of the sporting world show their support for the Whites.
Thomas is just one of many, with Larry Nance Jr being the most notable name mostly linked with the club.
The basketball player is known to give his views on the club, with Nance Jr suggesting he’d bring Marcelo Bielsa back, and now Thomas wants to be more involved with the club next season.
Justin Thomas on the ‘unfortunate’ thing about Leeds United
Thomas, who is a 16-time PGA Tour winner, is clearly looking to get his name more associated with the club.
Nance Jr has done this expertly well, as he will no doubt be a keen watcher in the Premier League.
Unfortunately for the Atlanta Hawks star, Nance Jr was looking forward to seeing Junior Firpo, as his hope won’t be coming true after his free transfer to Real Betis.
Nevertheless, he remains a loyal supporter, and Thomas has expressed his frustration at not being able to watch Farke’s side, naming the ‘unfortunate’ circumstance of why he can’t visit Elland Road.
“I’d like to. Some of the guys are giving me a hard time, that of course, now they’re in the Premier League, now I’m going to make my way over,” Thomas said.
“But it’s unfortunate that they’re not playing during kind of this, it would be great during the Scottish or The Open to either go before or stay after.
“Then last year with having a baby made the fall just a slightly tough ask on my end. We’ve wanted to, so hopefully we can make it work by the end of this year.”

Leeds’ project with the 49ers will help global growth
To have investors from around America wanting to learn more about the club is great, and this will only strengthen Leeds’ size.
Of course, the Whites are a big club as it is, but to have global superstars mentioning Leeds’ name will help grow the club financially.
Will Ferrell, who is also an investor, seems to be very invested in this project as well, with Ferrell stating American investment is ‘catching up’, which could bring more new faces to explore the ambitious ongoings at Elland Road.
It seems as though the 49ers’ dynasty is only growing, and in terms of the long term, Leeds’ future looks very bright.
