Leeds United are heading stateside if they win promotion to the Premier League, says their Italian owner.
Andrea Radrizzani has told Leader in Sport on YouTube that he is bringing Leeds United players and backroom staff to Las Vegas if they win promotion to the Premier League.
Leeds have been arguably the most impressive Championship team this season, but Marcelo Bielsa’s side sit third in the table and three points off Norwich at the summit.
Still, the Whites have won plenty of acclaim for their attacking brand of football under Bielsa, but also their high-energy pressing out of possession.
Despite being three points off the pace, Leeds remain favourites with a lot of bookmakers to win promotion into the Premier League.
And the United owner claims that he has promised the playing and non-playing staff that he will bring them to Vegas on holiday as a reward if that materialises.
He told Leader in Sport on YouTube: “If it happens we all go to Vegas with the players. I promised them.”
It remains to be seen how Leeds respond to what happened before the international break.
Bielsa’s side were dismantled 4-1 by West Brom at The Hawthorns. It was a seriously heavy defeat – the Whites’ worst of the season – but thankfully the Argentine coach will have had two weeks to repair any frailties as a consequence to that setback.
They host Bristol City at Elland Road next weekend.
