UK alternative bank reviving exposure to football clubs amid pandemic

Aldermore, one of the UK's leading challenger banks, has in the past couple of months increasingly become engaged with clubs over factoring deals after a period of disengagement.

Both Brighton & Hove Albion and Leeds United are understood to have dealt with the financial institution.

Meanwhile, much larger Barclays has for years been reducing its exposure to football but recently been behind several loans to West Ham.
