Search for Summerville’s Successor
Leeds United are actively scouring the market for a new attacking talent following Crysencio Summerville’s transfer to West Ham. The club is determined to secure a deal well ahead of the 31st August deadline, aiming to fill the void left by the forward’s departure.
Rejected Bid for Norwich City‘s Rowe
The Yorkshire club has shown interest in Norwich City’s Jonathan Rowe, with an initial verbal offer of £7 million being placed. However, the bid has been rebuffed, with Norwich deeming it insufficient against their valuation of the 21-year-old talent.
Confidence in Securing a Quality Replacement
Despite the setback in their pursuit of Rowe, Leeds remain optimistic about bringing in a high-calibre player to step into Summerville’s shoes. The club’s confidence suggests that fans can expect an exciting new addition to their squad soon.
Impact of Summerville’s Departure
Summerville’s exit has undoubtedly left a gap in the team’s offensive lineup. His impressive tally of 21 goals and 10 assists across 49 appearances last season highlighted his significant contribution to the club’s attacking prowess.
Leeds Eyeing Crystal Palace’s Rak-Sakyi
Leeds United have also set their sights on Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. However, they face stiff competition for his signature, with Southampton reportedly preparing to increase their bid after an initial £7 million offer was turned down. It remains to be seen if Leeds will match or exceed the proposed £12 million figure.
Rutter’s Future in Question
In related news, Leeds fans are bracing for the potential exit of Georginio Rutter, as speculation mounts over his release clause. The club’s transfer activities continue to draw attention as the deadline nears.
