Whites captain Liam Cooper admits he is expecting a ‘mass exit of players’ from the club over the summer transfer window but has already called on those who do stay to come back together and aim to get promoted straight back into the Premier League.
Leeds United’s three-year stay in the top flight came to an end on Sunday with Everton’s victory over Bournemouth rendering the result Sam Allardyce’s side got functionally meaningless – but they had collapsed to a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road regardless.
A devastated Cooper revealed after the game that he had issued a cry to his teammates to ‘come back fighting’ once the new Championship campaign gets under way in August – however many of them actually remain at the club.
