Russell Westbrook has joined the investment group taking over Leeds United.
The group 49ers Enterprises, the investment arm of the NFL\'s San Francisco 49ers, has been a shareholder in Leeds since its initial investment in May 2018.
\"I was lucky enough to have conversations with some of the partners in this deal who already have ownership, the 49ers,\" Westbrook said at a sports and entertainment summit held by Sportico.
\"So I was lucky enough to talk through that with friends, talking with my business partner as well about different things and having conversations, figuring out if this was the right deal and how we could make it different.\"
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani reached an agreement to sell his stake in the club to 49ers Enterprises.
