Speaking on talkSPORT, Jermaine Beckford praised the Elland Road outfit for their intensity and honesty right throughout the 2020/21 campaign, and believes that there’s a massive appreciation of the way in which Marcelo Bielsa has Leeds playing.

With the likes of Kalvin Philipps in the ranks, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them go from strength to strength next season.
