Leeds United are set to have a board meeting in the next 48 hours over concerns that minority shareholder GFH Capital are struggling to pay money into the club, it has been claimed.

The Whites are set to pay close to £2m to sign striker Marcus Antonsson from Swedish side Kalmar FF, but further transfer dealings may be frustrated by GFH not sinking money into the club.




The Middle Eastern group are minority shareholders, while Italian chairman Massimo Cellino is majority shareholder.

According to Radio Yorkshire, Leeds, who were having a board meeting on Tuesday, will hold another board meeting within the next 48 hours.
 


It is claimed that GFH are having trouble raising capital to invest in the playing squad at Elland Road, which would impact on player recruitment.

GFH are also claimed to be struggling to pay any money at all into the club.

Cellino is likely to want the situation resolved as he aims to back new head coach Garry Monk in his mission to lead the Whites to promotion to the Premier League next season.

Leeds have been expected to be busy in the transfer market this summer.
