Former Leeds United defender Sol Bamba says the Whites' main priority this season should be to stay in the Premier League. The Whites avoided relegation on the final day of the last campaign, winning 2-1 at Brentford in dramatic fashion.
Leeds have lost two of their key players over the summer in Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha, but Jesse Marsch has drafted in seven fresh faces who he hopes can help the Whites improve on last season's finish. Leeds got off to the perfect start in the new Premier League season, beating Wolves 2-1 at Elland Road after coming from behind.
Now Marsch has had a full pre-season to work with his players, Bamba says Leeds fans will have higher expectations, but believes survival should be their main focus.

"Last year Marsch came in and did well, he did okay," Bamba told Sky Sports News. "He kept them in the Premier League.
"I think it'll be different this season. He's had a pre-season under his belt, he's brought in his own players, so Leeds fans will be expecting a bit more. For them, it's about staying in the league first and foremost. If they can finish top 10, or higher than last season then it'll be a good season for them."
