Angers financial worry Leeds United can exploit to sign Morocco star who impressed Andrea Radrizzani

Leeds United could exploit Angers' financial difficulties if they choose to pursue Morocco's World Cup star Azzedine Ounahi. The midfielder impressed in Qatar - starting all six of Morocco's games as they became the first ever African nation to reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Victor Orta has revealed that he has received messages from Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani about Ounahi, who was only playing in the third-tier of French football just 18 months ago.

He joined Angers in the summer of 2021 and was linked with a move to Sevilla for a fee in the region of €12 million in the summer, according to French journalist Gildas Crozon. Ounahi subsequently penned a new four-year deal with Angers but his World Cup exploits will undoubtedly have turned heads across Europe, most notably Barcelona.
