Leeds United’s Transfer Tussle: Farke’s Sargent Desire
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke is keen to sign Norwich City star Josh Sargent, despite reports suggesting the player isn’t a top priority for the club’s higher-ups. Sargent’s impressive form in the Championship, with 15 goals and five assists last season, has attracted several suitors, including Burnley and AS Roma.
A Potential Stand-Off
Farke believes Sargent’s pace and strength would be a valuable addition to Leeds’ attack. However, a potential stand-off could arise between the manager and the club’s decision-makers, who may not share the same enthusiasm for the signing.
Sargent’s Proven Track Record
The 25-year-old American has shown promise in the Premier League and Bundesliga, scoring a sensational scorpion kick against Watford in the past. Sargent’s productivity in the Championship has convinced several clubs that he’s ready for a return to the top flight.
A Difficult Decision
With three years remaining on Sargent’s contract, Norwich may not be eager to sell. Leeds United will need to weigh their options and decide whether to pursue Sargent’s signature, potentially sooner rather than later. The club has already made some signings, but adding firepower to their attack is crucial for Premier League survival.
