As they look to make further additions this summer, Leeds United have now been linked with a move for up-and-coming Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe.
The 21-year-old has impressed during last season with his 13 goals and four assists from 38 appearances, which would make him a tempting option for some clubs including Leeds.
Why Leeds United Want Rowe
The sale of Crysencio Summerville to West Ham United has created a space in the Leeds United squad.
Jonathan Rowe has been identified as the perfect candidate to fill that void. Also not surprisingly, Rowe is generating additional interest with his performances last season.
Leeds see him as the right player to bring energy and creativity to their attack.
Competition for Rowe
It is not just Leeds who are in pursuit of Rowe. French Ligue 1 Marseille are also believed to be in discussions with Norwich City over the youngster.
However, the French side hasn’t yet made a formal offer, and it’s unclear whether they are willing to meet Norwich’s asking price.
The Financial Aspect
For Rowe, Norwich City want €17 million to start negotiations. Both Leeds United and Marseille are likely to be majorly factoring in this number.
However, Leeds must choose whether they are willing to pay this much for Rowe given the interest from Marseille.
What This Means for Leeds United
if Leeds United could get their hands on him would send a message as they reshuffle the pack for next season.
However, Rowe would serve as a direct replacement for Summerville but also add a new dimension to their attack. Leeds fans will be hoping this turns into a transfer saga.
Jonathan Rowe’s future is still uncertain, with Leeds United and Marseille both showing keen interest.
The coming weeks will be crucial as the clubs negotiate and decide whether they are willing to meet Norwich City’s asking price.
For now, Leeds United supporters will have their fingers crossed, hoping to see Rowe donning their club’s colors soon.
