Premiership: Leeds chief close to finalising Viduka, Dacourt deals

Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale remains confident both Mark Viduka and Olivier Dacourt will spearhead the club’s challenge for silverware next season.

Viduka has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him with Real Madrid, AC Milan and Lazio among others, while Frenchman Dacourt’s impressive form last season has put him high on Barcelona’s hit list.
