Leeds United sit one point off the automatic promotion places with eight games to go.

The Whites are hoping to finally clinch a return to the top flight after 15 years of pain.

Ex-star Gordon Strachan believes if Leeds get there, then they will put the rest of the division on notice.

Strachan told Leeds Live that the club’s stature will enable them to really make an impact in the transfer market and shake things up.

He said: “A lot depends on investment now. It’s huge. Recruitment’s huge in football now, no matter what club you’re at, it’s not so much tactics, it’s recruitment

“Leeds can drag people, a lot of players in because of the atmosphere, the stadium, the history.

“They can do more than most clubs that get promoted.”
