The rumours of Qatari Sports Investments investing in Leeds United just won’t go away.
This week the rumours once again resurfaced, much to the disdain of the fanbase.
Le Parisien this week reported that the financial group that owns PSG want to buy shares in the Yorkshire club in order to make them the French champions’ ‘little brothers’.
We’ve heard in previous reports that Leeds would be able to loan players from the European giants, but other stories this week have states that QSI see the Whites as something of a feeder club for PSG.
This part of the story just doesn’t add up. If QSI wanted to invest in a team in order to use them as a feeder club, Leeds United certainly aren’t the best option.
This might sound a bit harsh on the Whites’ academy, but it’s been almost 20 years since they have produced a player anywhere near good enough to play alongside world superstars such as Kylian Mbappe and Neymar at PSG.
Indeed, when looking at a list of Leeds’ academy graduates the only real candidate from the past two decades who can be considered good enough for the French giants is James Milner.
During that time Leeds have had academy graduates they can be proud of. Fabian Delph and Lewis Cook have become England internationals, and Charlie Taylor has become a Premier League regular after playing 38 games for Burnley last season. But if we’re being honest none of those players are good enough to play for Thomas Tuchel’s side.

If QSI are indeed seriously interested in investing in the Elland Road outfit, then there must be more factors at play than wanting to use them as a feeder club as their track record of producing top-class talents just isn’t up to scratch.
