The current ownership situation taking place at Leeds United could become clearer later this year, according to transfer expert Dean Jones.

The Lowdown: Leeds ownership up in the air

The Whites have been sole-owned by Andrea Radrizzani since May 2017, with the Italian initially buying 50% of the club in January of that year.

However, 49ers Enterprises' influence at Leeds is growing all the time, and there is a feeling that it won't be long until they have taken over complete control from Radrizzani.

It is an ongoing saga, and a fresh update has now emerged regarding the situation.

The Latest: Jones makes ownership claim

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Jones claimed that things will make more sense towards the end of this year with regards to the ownership of Leeds United.

He outlined: "I was told to expect updates towards the back end of this year on where Leeds were heading in terms of ownership and investment."

The Verdict: Sort it sooner rather than later

In terms of a financial sense, it can only be a good thing for Leeds if 49ers Enterprise become full owners in the coming months, making them an even more attractive proposition.

It would likely allow for more transfer funds to be available, although potential relegation to the Championship would certainly be a blow in that respect.

Radrizzani has been a great owner at Leeds, overseeing a memorable period under Marcelo Bielsa, but there is a feeling that it could be time for the next chapter in the club's illustrious history.
