Leeds United ‘to battle Premier League sides for Nigeria international’ amid fresh Radrizzani development
Tuesday night, Leeds United defeated Stoke City 1-0 at Elland Road to get back to their winning ways. After watching Ipswich Town come from behind twice to steal victory against Bristol City, Dan James’ goal for the Whites was insufficient to secure a place in the Championship’s top two.
Friday night’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday means that Daniel Farke’s team won’t have to wait long to get back in the game. Leeds knows they’ll be put to the test at Hillsborough, as the Owls have been playing quite well lately.

According to NTV Spor, Leeds is one of three teams who have expressed interest in the former QPR player.
Since joining Fenerbahce in January 2021, Osayi-Samuel has made 122 appearances while tallying five goals. Though he has played right back most of those games, he is more than capable of playing further forward, as seen in appearances on the left and right wings.
With one more season remaining on his Istanbul deal, the 26-year-old’s return to England appears to be a possibility. Osayi-Samuel began his professional career with Blackpool and then played for QPR for three and a half years in west London.
Radrizzani investment increases
At the moment, Sampdoria is ranked 13th in the table after struggling to mount a challenge to reclaim their place at the top table of Italian football. Following their victory over FeralpiSalo over the weekend, that puts them just two points outside of the play-off spot, but still five spots behind.

Jim White reacts instantly as Leeds United potential PSR breach emerges
In response to reports that Leeds United may not meet sustainability and profit standards for the 2023–24 campaign, Jim White has spoken.
The Whites are one of eight clubs that are now in danger of breaking PSR regulations, which might result in them being punished, according to a tweet from SLBSN.
If the team is promoted to the top division for the upcoming season, they might lose points as a result. TalkSPORT broadcaster White reacted to the news on his personal Twitter account on March 5.
He added an emoji of money and remarked, “Interesting times ahead.”
Will Leeds United be in FFP trouble?
The idea that Leeds could be in danger of a PSR violation appears improbable given the club’s anticipated strong financial position.
With a number of loan agreements, the club was able to pay off the enormous salaries from previous transfer windows this season while spending very little money to strengthen the roster.
The club may lose £50 million this year without facing fallout from FFP and PSR penalties, according to Leeds-Live, however it’s not quite that easy.
For the team to be promoted while still breaking PSR rules would need some pretty extraordinary circumstances, so Whites supporters can breathe easy on this one.
