Stephen Bunting sends Leeds United message ahead of Premier League Darts
Leeds United have received a message from world-renowned darts player Stephen Bunting after Premier League promotion.
United have been the talk of the town after becoming Championship title winners and obtaining Premier League promotion.
Leeds and Burnley battled till the final day before a last-minute winner from Manor Solomon against Plymouth Argyle secured Leeds Championship glory.
Now back in the Premier League after two years, the Whites’ title-winning season is getting them noticed in more ways than one.
Bunting congratulates United
In light of Premier League promotion, Leeds are already looking to enhance Daniel Farke’s squad for the new season.
While the newly promoted side may have moved on from their historic season, the rest of the world still needs to catch up.
Bunting issued a message for United as he headed to Leeds for the Premier League Darts night 14 on Thursday.
“Arrived at the venue here in Leeds, the home to both Premier League darts and Premier League football.
“Congratulations, Leeds.”
Leeds will need to make big moves in the summer window
While Bunting may be using Leeds’ title win as fuel for what lies ahead, if the Whites want to stand a chance of staying up next season, they need to start making big moves.
It is no secret that newly promoted Championship sides have struggled these past few seasons.
| Team | Premier League Promotion | Premier League Relegation |
| Luton Town | 2022/23 | 2023/24 |
| Burnley | 2022/23 | 2023/24 |
| Leicester City | 2023/24 | 2024/25 |
As a result, Leeds will need to use the upcoming summer transfer window to their advantage if they want to establish themselves next season.
United have already been linked with Kalvin Phillips, whose experience in the top league may be vital, as well as Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher, who could offer stability to their backline.
Cashing in on players who are not quite ready for the intensity of the Premier League, like Mateo Joseph, who is still quite raw, is also necessary for success.
While it is still early days, the newly promoted club will need to think big over the coming weeks, as the entirety of England likely waits for them to fail.
It’s time to fight back.
