Harry Redknapp makes honest prediction regarding Leeds United

Harry Redknapp has told Sky Sports via TeamTalk that Leeds United are in no danger of being relegated at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.

The former Tottenham manager was speaking following Leeds’ deadline day capture of Raphinha who has joined the club from Rennes.

Marcelo Bielsa’s team have set the Premier League alight with their all-action, attacking style of football and Redknapp doesn’t think they’ll have any worries.

Leeds narrowly lost to Liverpool on the opening day of the season and after two wins over Fulham and Sheffield United, drew with Manchester City on Saturday.

Redknapp has been impressed with both the club’s signings and Bielsa’s work with his team on the pitch and believes they’re in for a good season.

He told Sky Sports via TeamTalk: “They’ve bought really well. There’s no danger of them going back down.

“I think they’ll establish themselves now as a Premier League team.

“They’ve got great support and I don’t see them being in any relegation scrap this year. I think they’ll do very well.”

Leeds won the Championship at a canter ending their long exile from the country’s top-flight last season.

The Whites had been tipped to do okay but having only signed Robin Koch and Rodrigo Moreno before a ball was kicked, some neutrals were unsure.

Recruits

Diego Llorente and now Raphinha have been added and it seems as though some of the stars from last season have stepped up with aplomb.

Jack Harrison has looked mesmerising, Luke Ayling and Liam Cooper have been solid, whilst Patrick Bamford seems at home in the Premier League.

Redknapp has made a bold prediction in tipping them to steer well clear of relegation but their transfer business and their start to the season does suggest it’ll be accurate.
