Jonathan Rowe’s departure from Norwich City has left a void that the Canaries are looking to fill by making a move for a winger who has caught the attention of Leeds United. The 21-year-old scored an impressive 12 goals in the Championship last season, attracting interest from several clubs. Leeds United, in particular, were rumored to have tabled a substantial £7 million bid for Rowe, but Norwich are holding out for a higher fee.
With Marseille now reportedly entering the fray and showing interest in signing Rowe, it seems likely that the young winger will be heading to France. As a result, Rowe was left out of Norwich’s squad for their recent match against Oxford United, signaling his impending departure from the club.
Meanwhile, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi of Crystal Palace is also generating significant interest from various clubs, including Southampton and Leeds United. Despite offers being made for Rak-Sakyi, Palace has opted to send the winger out on loan instead of accepting any permanent deals. This decision has sparked a late bidding war, with Norwich City throwing their hat in the ring in hopes of securing Rak-Sakyi as a replacement for Rowe.
As Leeds United find themselves back at square one in their search for a replacement for Crysencio Summerville, Rowe’s imminent move to Marseille and Rak-Sakyi’s potential move to Sheffield United has left the Yorkshire club in a predicament. With the need to address their squad imbalance, Leeds may need to explore other options in their pursuit of a new attacking talent.
One name that Leeds fans are eager to see return to Elland Road is Jack Clarke, who has previously had a spell at the club on loan. As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen how Leeds United will navigate the challenges of securing a replacement for Summerville while facing stiff competition from other clubs in the market for talented wingers like Rowe and Rak-Sakyi.
