Steve Tappin "committed" to finding Leeds United investment

Businessman Steve Tappin has said that he remains committed to finding Chinese investors for Leeds United.

Tappin, who is the chief executive and founder of Chinese consultancy company Xinfu, revealed yesterday that he was looking at securing funding for the club, whom he has supported his entire life.

Current owner Massimo Cellino has endured a tumultuous time in charge at Elland Road, and Tappin stressed that any investment would need to be right for the club.

Remain committed to finding right funding for #lufc with interested Chinese investors. Not necessary to comment in English press atm. #MOT
