Steve Cooper has been discussing Leeds United’s credentials to step up into the Premier League, with the Swansea City boss admitting he doesn’t know how competitive Marcelo Bielsa’s group would be.

Leeds beat Swansea late yesterday, with Hernandez scoring an 89^th minute winner to move Bielsa’s side just four points off promotion to the Premier League with three games remaining.

On the back of the game, Cooper was quizzed on whether Leeds were ready for the top-flight, with the Swansea boss remaining evasive with his verdict.

Quiz: Do you know what shirt number each of these 14 Leeds United players wear?

 

As quoted in the Yorkshire Evening Post, he said: "I haven't really thought about it to be honest. They're obviously a good team, they have a clear way of playing.

"You have to match them in what they do and be ready for it because they're good at it.

"Whether it's enough to get them out of this league and then compete in the Premier League, I'm not too sure, you are better asking the Leeds staff rather than me.

"All I know is when you play them now it's a really tough game.”

It does, obviously, remain to be seen if Leeds cut it in the Premier League (should they get there), but there are little doubts that Bielsa’s unique style give them something of an edge.

However, there are a number of Leeds fans questioning Cooper’s comments, with many citing sour grapes.
