GOING UP FOR A FIGHT

Leeds want to stay in Prem

- BY DAVID ANDERSON

LEEDS supremo Paraag Marathe insists the club have already begun plans to make sure they thrive in the Premier League.

Marathe is president of Leeds' owners, the 49ers Enterprises, the venture capital arm of NFL side the San Francisco 49ers, and he has earmarked a massive cash injection for the club.

He understands Leeds need to rebuild their squad, especially after selling over £125million worth of talent last summer, including Archie Gray, Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville.

Leeds will spend at least £100m on new players and Kalvin Phillips could return from Manchester City, three years after he left in a £42m move.
