Leeds United ready to green light Elland Road expansion – Keith Wyness.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has insisted Leeds United will look to expand Elland Road if they are promoted on Sunday (26 May).
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – suggested club owners 49ers Enterprises are “prepared to invest and have a go” following their takeover last summer (2023).
Football Insider revealed last November that the Leeds chiefs have accelerated plans to expand Elland Road after securing external investment for the project.
The project is expected to increase capacity to around 55,000 and will cost upwards of £100million to complete.
Elland Road currently holds 37,890 and the East Stand was the last area to be renovated in 2011.
Leeds ‘prepared to invest’ with Elland Road expansion ready, says Wyness
Leeds face Southampton at Wembley on Sunday (26 May) in the play-off final with a place in the
Premier League at stake.
Wyness told Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast: “I do think the Elland Road expansion would swing into action straight away if they do go up.
“I think the owners are really prepared to invest and have a go.
