- Leeds are set to make a formal bid for Norwich forward Jonathan Rowe.
- Marseille’s initial offer for Rowe was rejected, with Norwich holding out for £15m.
- The Whites are also showing interest in Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys.
Leeds United are expected to present an official bid for Norwich City forward Jonathan Rowe, according to TEAMtalk.
The Whites are reportedly ready to step up their interest in the explosive winger in the coming days and believe they still have a chance of beating Marseille to his signature.
After seeing Crysencio Summerville finally end his summer saga with a £25m move to West Ham United, Leeds are expected to bring in a replacement for their star winger and have lined up Rowe as an option.
Both Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James started in Leeds’ Championship opener against Portsmouth on Saturday and remain the only wingers in the first-team squad after Summerville’s departure.
Rowe, who has less than 12 months left on his current deal with the Canaries, is not a surprise target for Daniel Farke’s side and the England Under-21 international ‘looks certain’ to leave Carrow Road this summer, per TEAMtalk.
Rowe Linked with Elland Road Move
Marseille saw their initial bid rejected
Marseille’s opening offer for
, believed to be worth around £10m, was rejected by Norwich earlier in the window, according to TEAMtalk.
The Canaries reportedly continue to hold out for £15m for their star winger and it remains to be seen if Marseille return with an improved bid.
The situation could be about to change in Leeds’ favour with the Whites now preparing their first formal offer to Norwich for Rowe, which is expected to eclipse the Ligue 1 giants’ initial proposal.
Norwich’s academy graduate Rowe had a breakthrough season in the Championship, netting 12 goals and registering two assists in 32 appearances last campaign and saw himself described as “incredible” by David Wagner.
