Leeds United remain in the running to secure the signing of Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe during this summer’s transfer window. The club has shown interest in acquiring the 21-year-old attacker, although they have not yet made a formal offer.
Discussions have taken place between Leeds and Norwich, with the former considering a bid in the region of £7 million for the England youth international. However, Norwich’s valuation of Rowe is higher than initially anticipated.
Adding to the mix, French club Marseille has entered the picture and posed a threat to Leeds’ pursuit of Rowe. According to reports from Mike McGrath of The Telegraph, Marseille submitted a bid for Rowe on Friday evening, which was promptly turned down. The Ligue 1 side is now contemplating making an improved offer.
With Rowe expected to depart Carrow Road this summer and having not featured in Norwich’s recent matchday squad, the opportunity for Leeds to make a significant move is evident. The club has the funds available following player sales earlier in the transfer window, reinforcing the possibility of meeting Norwich’s demands.
After a challenging 3-3 draw in their season opener against Portsmouth, Leeds are in need of reinforcements. While Daniel Farke possesses a talented attacking roster, the absence of Summerville necessitates the acquisition of a suitable replacement.
Rowe’s impressive record of contributing to 14 Championship goals last season highlights his potential as a valuable asset for Leeds. In addition to Rowe, Leeds have shown interest in Crystal Palace forward Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, although no formal bids have been made as of yet.
To strengthen their squad and enhance their attacking options, it is imperative for Leeds United to make a decisive move for Jonathan Rowe sooner rather than later.
