Leeds United’s transfer window looks like it is finally set to get busy in terms of incoming after the sale of Crysencio Summerville, with the Whites now planning a £7m offer for a rival player.

Summerville’s exit saw Leeds complete a seventh sale this summer, raking in a fee north of £80m after the likes of Archie Gray, Glen Kamara and Charlie Cresswell had already been sold by Leeds owners The 49ers.

Daniel Farke is expected to want replacements. He has already said that he wants another full-back and a midfielder, while there is now the need to bring in a player to cover the exit of Dutch ace Summerville.

Already on Monday, Leeds have been linked with signing Wolves left-back Hugo Bueno. But the Spaniard is not the only player on Leeds’ radar, as they plan a move for an “exciting” England U21 international.

Leeds set to make £7m bid to sign ‘exciting’ Norwich City star

The Telegraph claim Leeds are planning an opening offer of £7m to sign Norwich’s 21-year-old starlet Jonathan Rowe. The youngster, who can play out wide, as a 10 or deeper in midfield, starred last term.

Rowe was excellent for The Canaries, scoring 12 goals in 35 games as well as laying on two assists. Leeds and Norwich are in talks over a move for Rowe, but the £7m fee is some way off Norwich’s valuation.

But Leeds are hoping to tempt Norwich into doing a deal this summer, in a move that would see Farke raid his old club. TransferMarkt say Rowe is represented by the same agency that looks after Karl Darlow.

Jonathan Rowe not the only Norwich player Leeds linked with

Norwich need to sell a big-name player this summer as they enter their final year of parachute payments. The third year is a big drop from the second year and next summer, they won’t get any extra payments.

Leeds have been linked with USA striker Josh Sargent, though those rumours have dried up. There was also interest in Gabriel Sara with Graeme Bailey telling LeedsUnited.News that Farke is a big admirer.

However, Sara was spotted joining Galatasaray over the weekend in a £20m deal. Now, Leeds want to sign Rowe as a replacement for Summerville but Norwich want more cash to let their young gun depart.
