Leeds United have been tipped to complete their stadium redevelopment project without any problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n Elland Road is set for a massive expansion<\/a> over the next few years, with the Yorkshire club hoping to boost the capacity of their home from 37,890 to 56,500.<\/p>\n The West Stand and North Stand are both expected to be revamped, and work could begin on the build as early as the beginning of 2026.<\/p>\n Leeds<\/a> have now formally submitted plans to the city council, with a decision on the application coming sometime in October.<\/p>\n Everton\u2019s<\/a> former chief Keith Wyness \u2013 who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs \u2013 believes that the club will have no problem getting the stadium expansion approved.<\/p>\n Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider<\/strong>\u2019s Inside Track podcast<\/a>, Wyness insisted that Leeds will suffer \u201czero issues\u201d with their expansion of Elland Road.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n The Whites are currently owned by 49ers Enterprises, who recently acquired a controlling stake in Scottish giants Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wyness added that the Leeds owners have the funds to be able to turn Elland Road into a showpiece stadium again.<\/p>\n He told Football Insider<\/strong>\u2018s Inside Track podcast: \u201cI think in the consultation process, when I looked at it, it\u2019s something like 98 % approvals that sail through. The council\u2019s right behind Leeds United in doing this. <\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019ve been up there at all, then you\u2019ll know that Elland Road\u2019s on the way into Leeds. It\u2019s a great regional development tool for Leeds as well. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a great city, Leeds, I love going there and it\u2019s just something that I think will go well because the council are right behind it. They\u2019ve got great owners with the pockets to be able to do this. I expect zero hitches in terms of getting Elland Road back into being a showpiece stadium again. I\u2019m pleased for them.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Leeds are reportedly considering a move to sign Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell<\/a> and are keeping a close eye on his situation at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who claims that Daniel Farke is keen to bring Premier League experience into his side.<\/p>\n This comes despite the \u00a310million signing of Lille left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, as Farke aims to add further strength in depth to his back line.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> on 15 July that Premier League clubs want to sign Chilwell<\/a>, with all parties keen on a departure from Chelsea this summer.<\/p>\n For more Leeds United and exclusive news, follow us on Facebook<\/a> or join our brand new WhatsApp Channel<\/a> for instant updates to be sent straight to your phone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Related Posts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Imago Sun 20 July 2025 14:15, UK Leeds United have been tipped to complete their stadium redevelopment…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[62189,748,393,4884,1860,2922,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-277582","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-49ers-enterprises","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-leeds-united","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Elland](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Elland-Road-1-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg\")
