Cameron Stewart has won his compensation claim against Leeds United and will receive a minimum of £500,000, according to Yorkshire Evening Post reporter Phil Hay.
Stewart took Leeds to court after an agreement to sign the winger after a loan spell was not taken up by the Whites, despite a contract being signed. The claim was for the difference in wages between the agreed wage at Leeds and the wage he receives at Ipswich after agreeing to sign with them instead. The full story can be accessed here.
Following a hearing involving Stewart, Leeds United and the Football Association, it has been decided that Stewart was correct in his claim and Leeds will have to pay the owed money.
This is just the latest in a long line of court cases involving Leeds United in recent years, with the club being involved in disputes with West Yorkshire Police, former directors at the club, and Massimo Cellino’s tax evasion trial involving his yacht in Italy.
