Leeds United have made progress this week by setting their plans in motion ahead of another Premier League promotion push next season.

The Whites missed out on automatic promotion and then lost to Derby County in the play-off semi-finals, which condemned them to another season in the second tier.

However, Leeds have been significantly boosted by the news that Bielsa signed a one-year contract extension last week, which seemed up in the air following the second-leg defeat against Derby.

Meanwhile, other stories have emerged regarding issues such as potential financial investment in Leeds and the possibility of Pontus Jansson sealing a switch away from Elland Road.

Here's how some Leeds fans have been responding to this week's news on social media...

Bielsa signs new contract

Leeds missed out on automatic promotion despite challenging for the top two spots throughout the season, and they were on the receiving end of a brilliant Derby comeback at Elland Road to end their play-off campaign.

However, the Argentine has changed the culture of the club since arriving last summer by building a team that supporters could feel proud of, despite the fact they missed out on promotion.

It would have therefore come as an enormous relief when the club announced that Bielsa and the club had agreed to exercise the option of another year on his contract.

Here's how some supporters reacted to the news and how it might affect the club's plans for next season...

Jansson linked with move away

The Swedish international was one of Leeds' most consistent performers last season, which saw him named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year.

He formed an excellent partnership with Liam Cooper, who was also named in the Team of the Year, and helped Leeds towards achieving one of the best defensive records in the Championship.

However, speculation has been building that Jansson's future could lie away from Elland Road with it being reported that Benfica are keen on signing him, according to calciomercato.com.

Leeds will want to keep hold of Jansson this summer, but it is possible that some star players may need to leave in order to free up transfer funds.

Rumours about investment from Qatar

It has been reported that Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani is in talks with Nasser al-Khelaifi of Qatar Sport Investment regarding a shares sale with provision for a possible full buy-out, according to the New York Times.

These rumours have been gathering pace of late and it now appears that substantial investment in Leeds is now a real possibility, which could give the club a massive boost.

Radrizzani holds a close personal relationship with al-Khelaifi after previous business ventures, and it is now possible that he could put this contact to very beneficial use.
