Leeds United are currently in second spot in the Championship table.

Leeds United's Tyler Roberts celebrates scoring his side's second goal

Tyler Roberts has told the Daily Mail that he does not feel that Leeds United fans are desperate for promotion.

Leeds have not played Premier League football since 2004, and this season appears to be their best chance of promotion back to the top tier.

The Whites are in a battle to claim a top two spot, but Roberts insists that the atmosphere at Elland Road is one of excitement not desperation.

“To get this massive club up to the Premier League would be a dream come true. You can feel the atmosphere and the buzz around the place at kick-off,” the £2.5 million striker (YEP) said.

“I don’t feel it is a desperation among the fans to go up. More an excitement. We love coming out of the tunnel at kick-off, hearing the noise. It is great to hear that, an amazing feeling.”

Leeds picked up a massive victory at the weekend, which strengthened their promotion push.

Leeds are currently in second place in the Championship table, and two points clear of Sheffield United.

The Whites only just collected three points at the weekend though, as they came from behind to beat Millwall.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side relied on a late goal from Pablo Hernandez to secure the win.

Leeds are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Birmingham City at St. Andrews.
