A consortium that includes Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani has completed its takeover of Italian club Sampdoria.
Leeds' majority shareholder Radrizzani's company Aser Group and finance company Gestio Capital announced they had concluded a deal to save financially-stricken Sampdoria late on Tuesday night.

Radrizzani said: 'We are nothing short of thrilled to be able to announce that we have completed the acquisition of this extraordinary club.
