Leeds United free to spend after transfer embargo lifted

Leeds United have revealed that they are free to recruit players after their transfer embargo was lifted on Tuesday.

Breaching Financial Fair Play regulations saw the Championship side given a six-month embargo in December after failing to meet the Football League's requirements.

However, United have confirmed that it will be business as usual at Elland Road this summer.

A club statement read: "Leeds United can confirm that the FFP transfer embargo recently imposed upon the club has been lifted in time for the 2015 summer transfer window.

"The window officially opens on July 1 and the club will not face any restrictions in relation to buying or selling players."

In December, Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest were also sanctioned with embargoes until the end of the season.
