Leeds owner Radrizzani apologises to Derby's Morris over Spy Gate


Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby County’s owner Mel Morris over 'spygate'.

Ahead of Friday night's Sky Bet Championship clash between the two promotion rivals a Leeds United coach was removed by police for watching Derby's training sessions in the Midlands.

Then at Elland Road an hour before kick off the Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa admitted to sending a scout to spy on their rival's session and revealed he has done it to other clubs this season and throughout his career.

The revelation has sparked major debate throughout the game and Leeds United have now acted themselves.

Club owner Radrizzani has apologised to his opposite number Morris for Bielsa's actions and in a statement said: "The club will look to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on."
