Elland Road is set for an exciting future with the 49ers leading plans for an expansion.

With their plans in place for Leeds United’s stadium, Elland Road, to be expanded, updates will follow continuously.

The council gave agreement for the expansion, which means a 53,000-seat stadium is now being outlined, with the West Stand and North Stand getting major renovations.

It’s reported that work on constructing the new-look stand is not expected to begin until May 2026 and won’t be completed until late 2028.

As for the North, work isn’t expected to be done until 2030, but away from that, there is a new update surrounding the expansion, which Leeds fans will want to hear.

With excitement building around the expansion, West Yorkshire will soon see a work of art, not that Fortress Elland isn’t already.

There is a supposed naming rights deal in the works for Elland Road as the 49ers are pulling out all the stops to ensure the new expansion is of an elite level.

Time will tell if the plans run smoothly, but the council are already making clear what they are planning to do with the surrounding areas.

After approving the expansion, the Leeds City Council have now released planning guidance on the future of the neighbourhood that surrounds the stadium.

There will be major changes taking place, as in short, the guidance suggests that the fresh plans include a multi-storey car park, relocating the park and ride, trams, and a “yellow brick road” walking route to the Leeds city centre.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
