Leeds fans excited by journalist’s Jonathan Rowe update
Leeds United fans are hopeful that the club will beat French giants Marseille to the signing of Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe.
The West Yorkshire club are currently in the market for a new left-winger following the sale of Championship Player of the Season Crysencio Summerville to West Ham.
They face stiff competition to sign Rowe, 21, from Norwich City but French outlet L’Equipe are now suggesting that a move for the winger may be too expensive for Marseille.
This comes after the Ligue 1 club have most recently committed £26 million to sign French forward Elye Wahi from league rivals RC Lens.
Leeds currently only have 20 first-team players on their books, the lowest amongst teams in the Championship.
Football Insider revealed (August 12) that Leeds target Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has turned them down and is set to undergo his Sheffield United medical.
Leeds United seek to beat Marseille to Jonathan Rowe signing
Rowe was a standout for Norwich City last season, scoring 13 goals in 38 appearances across all competitions for his boyhood club.
Leeds United are seriously lacking in first-team players as they seek to earn promotion back to the Premier League and will have to make additions before the end of the transfer window.
