Leeds United's transfer plan takes shape with reassuring echoes ahead of takeover and new head coach

Nick Hammond is getting his eye in at Leeds United. Almost two weeks on from his appointment, the interim football advisor has his feet under the table and plates aplenty spinning ahead of the big push.

Everything at Elland Road feels as though it’s in a holding pattern right now. While news of the agreement between 49ers Enterprises and Aser Ventures dropped on June 9, 19 days have passed without confirmation of the takeover.

While EFL reviews the paperwork, ducks are being lined up for the new era to move quickly under the stewardship of chairman-elect Paraag Marathe. Interviews with head coach candidates concluded last week, but LeedsLive understands that announcement is unlikely to come until Andrea Radrizzani’s tenure has officially ended.
