‘There is no better team’… Leeds United told they can end worrying Premier League trend

With Leeds United entering the unknown reality of the Premier League, predictions already suggest a dismal season for Daniel Farke.

Many expect the Whites to struggle along with their fellow promoted side in Burnley and Sunderland.

Despite the 49ers aiming to spend big, Troy Deeney believes Burnley will stay up and Leeds won’t.

It’s hard to suggest this so early on, with at least a month of transfer business to be done before the season starts.

But a new claim has suggested that Leeds have every right to survive next season, with a clear factor stated.

Sam Byram backs Leeds United to end worrying Premier League trend

In recent years, the Premier League has seen the three promoted clubs go straight back down.

But the 22/23 season came as an anomaly with Jesse Marsch’s side suffering the same feat, but not as a promoted team.

Leeds can achieve Premier League survival, but they will no doubt need to add to their four new arrivals, with at least six new signings mooted.

Fresh from his new contract at Elland Road, Sam Byram is someone who fancies his side to survive the drop.

The 31-year-old has outlined a key reason why the Whites can do so, suggesting there is no ‘better team’ to achieve this feat.

“We need to obviously not underestimate the task ahead,” Byram said to LUTV.

“But when you look at a club the size of Leeds, with the fan base and the support and the stadium, I think there is no better team for the challenge.”

Leeds need to step up if Byram claim is to come true

With the Whites in the category of clubs threatened by the drop, Byram’s faith is a good sign that the squad know what’s at stake.

But after just £30m spent this summer, concerns might be raised at Leeds’ rivals making moves, as Sunderland have now spent over £80m.

This has to leave the 49ers wondering where they can strengthen next, and after Kieran Maguire stated £100m is available, they have no excuse to splash the cash.

Byram will be a leader in the dressing room next season, and the hope will be that he can drill this message into his fellow squad members.
