Chesterfield will receive six-figure sum after Leeds United seal promotion to Premier League

The Spireites sold Liam Cooper to the Whites in 2014 for £600,000 and inserted a clause in the paperwork which would entitle them to an additional six-figure sum if Leeds won promotion to the top flight and if the defender made a certain number of appearances.

The Whites’ return to the top flight after 16 years away was sealed on Friday night after West Brom’s defeat to Huddersfield Town.
