Leeds United Eyeing Reunion with Josh Sargent as Striker Continues to Impress in Championship
Leeds United are reportedly keeping tabs on Norwich City striker Josh Sargent, with a view to signing him at the end of the season. According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Sargent has been impressive in the Championship, and Leeds are keen on bringing him on board.
“Many people think that Sargent is the best striker in the Championship, and it’s hard for anyone to argue against that,” Bailey revealed via Leeds United News. “But Norwich are not ruling out promotion yet, and he won’t be leaving Carrow Road if they do earn promotion. But he is really starting to attract interest from many Premier League clubs.”
Sargent, 25, has worked under Leeds manager Daniel Farke during their time together at Norwich, and a reunion could be on the cards. The United States striker has been in impressive form, scoring 38 goals in the last three seasons with Norwich in the Championship.
Leeds are currently pushing for promotion to the Premier League, and Sargent will certainly be attracted to the idea of playing for them next season if they can secure a return to the top flight. However, Norwich will be under pressure to sell the player if they miss out on promotion.
Sargent’s contract with Norwich runs until 2028, and he is likely to cost a premium. It remains to be seen whether Leeds are prepared to break the bank for him.
“Josh Sargent is a top-class striker who has consistently shown his ability to score goals at a high level,” said Bailey. “Leeds United are keen on signing him, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official offer at the end of the season.”
The signing of Sargent would be a significant coup for Leeds, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of a potential return to the Premier League. With his impressive goal-scoring record and experience working under Farke, Sargent could be a valuable addition to the Leeds squad.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Leeds fans will be eagerly awaiting news of Sargent’s potential signing. If the Whites can secure the striker’s signature, it could be a major boost to their attacking options and a significant step towards achieving their Premier League ambitions.
