Leeds United's promotion was celebrated wildly outside and inside Elland Road on Easter Monday. Likewise across the city and across the country in some homes, the return of the Whites to the Premier League will have been very warmly received. That is also likely the case across many of the Premier League's teams with promotion for Leeds and Burnley, who joined Daniel Farke's men in securing a top two place, making a nice financial sum for the clubs.

Manor Solomon says Leeds United's promotion to the Premier League is exactly why he came to the club, to be able to celebrate that achievement. The Tottenham Hotspur man is on loan for the season and admits he took a risk coming to the Championship, but feels it has more than been justified now. Solomon could well find himself back in the Premier League next season with Leeds, with talk of the Whites striking a potential deal with Spurs to keep hold of the popular winger.

Such is the nature of the Championship Leeds United's owners hoped, rather than expected the club to win promotion this season. They had hoped just the same a year previous only to discover the pain of Wembley Stadium and a play-off final defeat. A year on there was renewed hope, an air of confidence and a desire to get over the line and take the club back to the top flight.

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke says the next step after securing promotion is to make the club an established Premier League side, but he admits the prospect of doing so is 'scary.' Leeds are celebrating a return to the top flight at the second time of asking after losing in the play-off final last season. This campaign they have secured a top two finish with a record points haul for the club, with the chance of winni9ng the title still up for grabs with two games remaining.
