Leeds United set to miss out on Norwich City man as top tier club hijacks deal

Leeds United are looking for reinforcements after winger Crysencio Summerville joined West Ham United.

Daniel Farke’s side will be keen to get off to a good start this season as they set their sights on automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

The Whites got so close last time around but failing to get over the line has led to them being forced to sell some big names this summer.

They had targeted a deal to sign Norwich City man Rowe, and reports earlier in the week suggested the Whites had launched a bid of around £7m for him.

Then, a fresh update claimed Leeds United wanted Rowe for less than £10m. But, it now seems that they are set to miss out on this target with Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille poised to reach an agreement for around £8m.

Rowe would have been a very good addition to Leeds United’s ranks.

He would have filled a gap in an area that lacks a little depth and he has already proven what he can do at this level.The 21-year-old scored 12 and assisted two in the Championship last season and he helped his side climb into the top six spots.
