Leeds United are looking to make two or three signings before the deadline of the transfer window and having sold Crysencio Summerville, The Whites have cash to spend.
Summerville’s move to West Ham has set The Hammers back an initial fee of £25m, with Leedsnow raking in as much as £80m this summer. Half of that was Archie Gray’s move to Tottenham Hotspur.
But it does mean Leeds have a couple of holes in the squad that require filling. A new full-back, a new midfielder and certainly, a replacement for a player that laid on 31 goals and assists during 2023-24.
One player Leeds have been linked with is Norwich City gem Jonathan Rowe, with the England youth star shining last season. He scored 12 goals and laid on two more in his 35 games for Daniel Farke’s old side.
Bailey gives us the latest on Leeds move for Jonathan Rowe
Reports emerged on Monday morning that Leeds were plotting an initial offer of £7m to land Rowe, but that it was always unlikely Norwich would be willing to accept such a low offer for the versatile player.
Norwich had needed to sell a player, but Gabriel Sara joined Galatasaray for a fee believed to be north of £20m. Of course, Brazilian ace Sara had also been linked with a move to Elland Road in the last few weeks.
Transfer expert Bailey says Rowe’s name came up in talks between Leeds and Norwich for Sara. Bailey also told LeedsUnited.News that Leeds want to do a deal for below £10m and Norwich are willing to cash in.
