Leeds United was playing well going into December, and the Championship promotion fight was becoming more competitive nationwide as well as at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke assembled a team capable of anything despite a difficult start to the summer, and they currently possess some of the greatest form in the division.
This could indicate that the January transfer window is less active than normal, but 49ers Enterprises could soon experience an unexpected windfall.
On September 21, AP revealed that the Whites had appealed a wage settlement with Jean-Kevin Augustin once more, taking the matter back to CAS due to a £24.5 million expenditure.
The hearing was scheduled on November 16, and as of yet, neither Switzerland nor the player’s or club’s representatives have provided any information regarding the possible outcome.
If the 49ers legal team is able to secure a larger windfall than Andrea Radrizzani was able to at the time, money may be allocated toward transfers.
£24.5million would not go a miss for any Championship club, and the owners surely wouldn’t have pursued another appeal if they didn’t think they would be successful.
Some interesting developments are ahead, and if an answer arrives before the January transfer window, we may see a busier month than many had initially anticipated.
