The Leeds United owner, Andrea Radrizzani, is being linked with a possible investment in Widzew Lodz.

According to Przeglad Sportowy, the Polish side are looking for investors and trying to get Radrizzani interested in their project.

Four-times national champions Widzew are currently playing third-tier football.

Nevertheless, they are described by Przeglad Sportowy as ‘a team with great sporting and marketing potential, a great supporter base and chances for rapid growth, fitting perfectly with the Leeds owner’s previous activities’ .

The newspaper adds, however, that to attract Radrizzani, Widzew would have to gain promotion first.

It is unclear, however, whether or not the two things are connected.

Last year, Radrizzani tried and failed to buy FC Bari in his native Italy.
