Leeds United, Fulham, AFC Bournemouth and Brentford ‘keen’ on 16-goal forward as he decide his fate
The marksman has been linked with Leeds in the past, having previously played under Whites boss Daniel Farke at Carrow Road. Sargent’s season came to an end last week, when Norwich were dumped out of the Championship play-offs by Leeds.
It was a frustrating campaign for the Canaries but a productive one for Sargent nonetheless, as the USA international notched 16 goals in the second tier.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Leeds are among those interested in making a swoop for the 24-year-old in the summer window. However, they are not the only club to have been credited with interest.
Premier League trio Fulham, AFC Bournemouth and Brentford are also said to be interested in the frontman, who has now enjoyed two impressive Championship campaigns after a difficult spell in the Premier League.
He joined Norwich when the club competed in the top flight, recruited at the start of Farke’s final season at Carrow Road. Across his three terms at the club, Sargent has scored 33 goals in 100 appearances.
The business Leeds conduct this summer appears likely to be dependent on the outcome of their play-off final clash with Southampton. Farke’s side are set to travel to Wembley and lock horns with the Saints on Sunday, May 26.
Robin Koch and Luis Sinisterra have agreed permanent moves to Eintracht Frankfurt and Bournemouth, while reports say Luke Ayling has rejected Sheffield United to sign a permanent deal with Middlesbrough.
Rasmus Kristensen will return to Elland Road from Roma, while it is expected Marc Roca will do the same after losing his place in Betis’ side under Manuel Pellegrini despite an impressive season on the whole.
Leeds’ asking price of £14.5m for Max Wober is proving to be too expensive for Gladbach, while Brenden Aaronson helped Union Berlin survive relegation on the final day of the Bundesliga season on Sunday.
But, there is no hint as to whether he will be staying. The same goes for Jack Harrison at Everton given the perilous state of the Merseyside club’s finances and now, an update on Diego Llorente’s future at Roma.
Leeds are confident Llorente, Harrison, Wober and Roca have done enough to join Sinisterra in exiting the club for a fee but that remains up in the air, with Football Italia delivering an update on Llorente:
Llorente has spent 18 months at Roma, joining the club under Jose Mourinho. It comes after Mourinho gave the Spain defender his debut at Real Madrid, and Llorente has gone on to play 54 times for Roma.
