Ipswich Town are on the verge of signing ‘electric’ attacker who Leeds were in talks to sign

Leeds United have been pretty busy on the outgoings front this window but they’re expected to sign a Crysencio Summerville replacement in the coming week.

Summerville completed his move to West Ham United last week so evidently Leeds are in the market for his successor.

Leeds have already identified Norwich City’s Jonathan Rowe and a £7m bid is expected to be lodged for the talented youngster.

The Whites are also looking at a number of other options, though, one of their rumoured targets is set to join Ipswich Town.

Leeds set to miss out on Ryan Kent to Ipswich Town

TBR reported last month that Leeds submitted a bid to sign Fenerbahce winger Ryan Kent, who has been long admired by Elland Road chiefs.

Though, it seems they’re now set to miss out on his signature as Ipswich Town are close to reaching an agreement, according to Haber Ekspres.

The Turkish outlet notes Ipswich have seen their £2.5m offer accepted and Kent, who’s been labelled as ‘electric’ by his former teammate James Tavernier [Daily Record], is now expected to join the Tractor Boys in the coming days.

Leeds were understood to be in negotiations with Fenerbahce but clearly weren’t prepared to meet their asking price. So, Daniel Farke will have to look elsewhere.

Leeds should go all out for Jonathan Rowe

Leeds’ £7m offer for Rowe is set to be rejected, with Norwich keen to keep hold of their prized asset.

However, with his contract due to expire next year, they risk losing him on a free transfer by not sanctioning his sale this window.

So, perhaps a deal could be agreed for around £10m – which is what Elland Road bosses are hoping, according to HITC.
