00:00Leeds United fans will welcome a host of familiar and fresh faces to Ellum Road next season
00:07as the club returns to the Premier League.
00:10Daniel Farker's side stormed to the Championship title with 100 points,
00:14earning dates with top-flight giants like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.
00:20Leeds have built a formidable home record under Farker, losing just three games at Ellum Road in two seasons.
00:27That strength will be tested in the top tier, where survival often hinges on home form.
00:33Fortunately, the fan base is among the most passionate in England.
00:36Only nine Premier League clubs boasted higher average attendances last season,
00:41Harnet and Ellum Road's unique pull.
00:44Attention now turns to the summer transfer window, with Farker preparing his squad for the challenges ahead.
00:51A busy summer is expected, with several incomings and outgoings likely,
00:54as Leeds fine-tune for life back in the Premier League.
00:59This is needed and many, many discussions are needed and we're trying to work pretty, pretty hard all together on it.
01:06And you can be sure I will also just overtake a challenge where I have got the feeling we have a chance anyhow to stay in this league.
01:16And this is what we're working more or less, even in the last weeks and months,
01:20because we're preparing for different scenarios.
01:22But right now, with this clarity, even more on it.
01:25And this is our whole focus.
01:27One key question surrounds Jack Harrison.
01:30The 28-year-old hasn't played for Leeds since May 2023, spending two seasons on loan at Everton.
01:36His future remains unclear, with no purchase clause in his loan deal.
01:40He's due to return for pre-season, with three years remaining on the contract he signed in April 2023,
01:46just months after nearly joining Leicester in a £20 million move.
01:51If Leeds secure a previous familiar deal of £20 million, it would roughly be £18.25 million in profit,
01:59whereas his market value, Harrison's contract length, strengthens Leeds' negotiating position.
02:05His future remains one of several key decisions ahead as Premier League football returns to Ellum Road.
