It feels like this week could spark the arrival of a new signing or two at Leeds United as the club look to reinvest the money received from Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham.

Summerville, 22, joins West Ham on a five-year deal until the summer of 2029 in a move worth £25m plus add-ons. The Dutchman’s move takes the total amount of cash received by Leeds beyond the £80m mark.

Despite that, Leeds are not desperately lacking in any areas of the pitch. That has been helped by signings of Joe Rodon, Jayden Bogle and Joe Rothwell as well as the returns of Max Wober and Brenden Aaronson.

Youngsters coming through like Charlie Crew, James Debayo and even Harry Gray could also provide the depth lost this summer. But that is not going to stop Leeds making a signing or two before the deadline.

Leeds plotting £7m bid to sign Championship attacker

While Leeds struggled at the start of last season’s Championship campaign, Norwich City’s England U21 ace Jonathan Rowe did not. He scored a hateful of goals in consecutive games for the Canaries last term.

He finished the campaign on 12 goals in 35 league games for Norwich. Now, Rowe is a target for Leeds this summer with The Whites plotting a £7m bid, though it is expected to be rejected by Norwich.

The report states that the offer is an initial one for Rowe, and the two clubs are in talks. A “very smart”, exciting player that offers versatility but Leeds are not alone with Wolves wanting to land the attacker.

Transfer expert Darren Witcoop said on X that Wolves were set to battle Leeds for Rowe: “Norwich in danger of losing top players. Jonathan Rowe subject of £7m Leeds bid and also liked by Wolves.”

Leeds the next best step for Rowe instead of Wolves jump

While Rowe is a huge talent, it must be remembered the attacker is still young and has only had one proper season in the first team. The Premier League is a big step up for Rowe right now, he must grow.

To grow, he needs to continue playing regular football and the best chance for him to do that is to remain in England’s second tier. Join a club that could end up in the Premier League in 12 months, like Leeds.

The lure of the Premier League will be hard to turn down, especially to work under a manager like Gary O’Neil who does have solid faith in youth. But Leeds would be the next best move for his career.
