Leeds United can get promoted to the Premier League, says Kemar Roofe.
Leeds United summer signing Kemar Roofe has told The Yorkshire Post that his side can win promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season.
The West Yorkshire outfit are going strong in the Championship at the moment and are in the running for a top-six finish.
The Whites are currently 10th in the league table with 20 points from 14 matches.
Garry Monk’s side are just three points behind Bristol City, who are sixth in the standings at the moment and occupy the final playoff spot.
Roofe, who joined Leeds from Oxford United in the summer transfer window and can play as a winger or as a striker, believes that the Whites can get promoted.
“Promotion,” Roofe told The Yorkshire Post when asked what Leeds could achieve this season.
“Everyone was probably writing us off the first few games because we didn’t get the results,” added Roofe. “But now we are getting the results, people are actually seeing what we can do.
“There are so many new players that have come in so I don’t know what people were expecting straight away.
“It is common sense. You have to get used to each other. It is not going to click straight away and now it’s clicking, you are seeing results.”
Leeds did not start the season well, but Monk’s side are in good form at the moment and could end up in the top six.
The West Yorkshire outfit are one of the biggest clubs in England, but they have not featured in the Premier League since 2004.
The Whites will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Championship rivals Norwich City at Elland Road in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
