The owners of Paris St-Germain are on the verge of securing a stake in Leeds United.

The deal, worth around £10m, means Qatari Sports Investments could then complete a £120m takeover – should the Yorkshire club reach the Premier League.

Leeds’ Italian supremo Andrea Radrizzani wants £80m to sell the Championship club NOW – double what he paid for it back in 2017.

So far, despite talks several interested investors, including QSI, he has been unable to persuade anyone to part with that sum while Leeds sit in the second tier of English football.

However, if Marcelo Bielsa’s side - who are eight points clear of third-placed Fulham - do win promotion this season that picture changes immediately.

Leeds climbed to the top of the Championship table after securing a 2-0 victory at Huddersfield in the West Yorkshire derby on Saturday.

Second-half goals from Ezgjan Alioski and Pablo Hernandez earned Marcelo Bielsa's side a sixth straight victory which saw them leapfrog West Brom - who play on Sunday - at the summit.

But Bielsa demanded improvement from his promotion-chasing side.

He still believes there is room for improvement from his team despite them extending their unbeaten run to nine matches.

"We defended set-pieces badly, but our first goal from Alioski made it easier for us to develop the play," reflected Bielsa.

"In the first half we should have created more chances, but we had some opportunities and we couldn't end them very well.

"We could have scored more goals, but we could have conceded a goal as well.

"We struggled with our last past when we arrived in good positions, but it's good to have chances rather than not.

"The second half was different, but we had problems in both halves with set-pieces."

Leeds have four more points now than at the same stage last season, but Bielsa is adamant it is hard to make a comparison of

their hopes of achieving promotion to the Premier League.

"We can not test the team in this moment, we need more time to test this," stressed the Argentine.
