Chelsea assistant head coach Jody Morris, West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass and Fulham have congratulated Leeds United on Twitter on winning promotion to the Premier League.

Leeds have secured automatic promotion to the Premier League for the 2020-21 campaign.

West Bromwich Albion’s defeat to Huddersfield Town on Friday evening means that Marcelo Bielsa’s side will end up in top two of the Championship table this season.

Fulham, who are also aiming for promotion from the Championship, has congratulated Leeds on their achievement.

Former Leeds midfielder Jody Morris, who is now the assistant head coach of Premier League club Chelsea, has welcomed the Whites to the top flight of English football, while Snodgrass – who was on the books of the West Yorkshire outfit from 2008 until 2012 – believes that it is “fully deserved” for Bielsa’s side.

Great occasion

Leeds are one of the biggest clubs in England, and it has been 16 years since they were last in the Premier League.

The top flight of English football will be a better division with the Whites in it.
