The former Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool midfielder is pleased to see Leeds back in the Premier League.
The West Yorkshire outfit have won the Championship title this season and will play in the top flight of English football in 2020-21 for the first time since 2004.
Redknapp, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that a lot of players in the Premier League will discover just how intimidating Elland Road is.
The Englishman has also stated that Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa will not change his footballing style next season.
Redknapp wrote in The Daily Mail: “The first time I faced Leeds United in the Premier League was at Elland Road as a Liverpool player in August 1992. I won’t ever forget the noise that iconic ground could make.
“I was 19 years old and they had the likes of Gary Speed, Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister and Eric Cantona playing for them. We drew 2-2. Playing at Elland Road was always intimidating and a lot of Premier League players will discover that.
“Marcelo Bielsa’s reputation among his fellow managers is second to none and I’m not sure he will rip up his style of play because he’s now battling with the big boys. Leeds gave Arsenal a run for their money in the FA Cup earlier this season, remember.
“Bielsa will do it his way. This promotion will reignite so many Premier League rivalries. Welcome home, Leeds.”
Back among the big boys
Leeds are one of the biggest clubs in England, and it has been quite a while since they were last in the Premier League.
While one should not expect too much of the Whites next season in terms of European ambition, the team will be looking to make an immediate impact in the top flight of English football.
