“A big bid” – Josh Sargent transfer prediction made as Leeds United line up Norwich City ace
Josh Sargent is said to be one of the names on Leeds United’s four-man shortlist this summer, as the Whites look to add attacking personnel to their squad during the off-season.
The Norwich City striker is rumoured to be a target for Daniel Farke’s side alongside Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor, Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson and OGC Nice striker Evann Guessand, according to TEAMtalk’s Ben Jacobs’ report on Wednesday.
With 25 goals in his last 45 appearances over the previous two campaigns combined, the American international has garnered a reputation as one of the most clinical marksman in the division over the past couple of years, and could be set for a return to the Premier League with the Elland Road outfit.
With that in mind, we spoke to Football League World’s Norwich City fan pundit Zeke Downes about the possibility of Sargent moving on this summer, and how much his club should be valuing him at if that interest does solidify.
Josh Sargent injury issues may put Leeds United off of summer deal
Despite a groin injury ruling him out for closer to three months of the current campaign, Sargent has still managed to net nine times in his 19 Championship appearances this season, with five goals in his last five league matches in yellow and green.
While his body can’t always be trusted to keep him fit and available for a whole season, his unerring ability to get his name on the scoresheet shows no signs of slowing down when he does get on the pitch, making interest in him inevitable this summer.
