The transfer window for Leeds United appears to be heating up as they prepare to make some big moves after the departure of Crysencio Summerville. With the sale of Summerville, the Whites have now completed their seventh transfer this summer, bringing in over £80m in fees after letting go of players like Archie Gray, Glen Kamara, and Charlie Cresswell at the behest of Leeds owners, The 49ers.
Manager Daniel Farke is looking to bring in replacements, with a focus on securing another full-back and midfielder. Additionally, there is a need to cover the void left by the departure of Summerville, prompting Leeds to consider a move for an exciting new talent.
Leeds have set their sights on Norwich City starlet Jonathan Rowe, with reports suggesting they are planning an initial offer of £7m for the 21-year-old. Rowe, who can play in multiple positions, impressed last season with 12 goals and 2 assists in 35 games for Norwich.
Despite ongoing talks between Leeds and Norwich, the £7m offer falls short of Norwich’s valuation, but Leeds are hopeful of striking a deal. Norwich, facing financial pressure as they near the end of their parachute payments, may be willing to negotiate a transfer for Rowe.
While Rowe is a top target for Leeds, they have also been linked to other Norwich players such as Josh Sargent and Gabriel Sara. However, with Sara already sealing a move to Galatasaray, Leeds remain focused on securing Rowe as they aim to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
