Leeds United has identified Jonathan Rowe of Norwich City and transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano as potential replacements for Crysencio Summerville.
Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Romano hinted that Daniel Farke and company may still be able to work out a deal, albeit a difficult one, before the summer transfer window closes.
Leeds, who lost to Southampton in the Championship play-off final and were unable to secure an instant promotion back to the Premier League, are gearing up for another season in the second tier and have brought in players such as Joe Rodon, Jayden Bogle, and Joe Rothwell (albeit on loan) in the hopes of dominating the division.
Leeds United: Jonathan Rowe is the most recent.
The Whites are eager to bring in a replacement for Summerville, who left earlier this month, before the transfer window closes. With 31 goal involvements in his previous season, the wide player was phenomenal for them, and his exploits will need to be replaced this summer.
This is why the Yorkshire-based team is interested in 21-year-old London-born star Rowe, who finished 2023–2024 with 13 goals and four assists. Upon his graduation from Norwich’s academy in 2022, he has accrued 56 appearances across all competitions.

Marseille is interested in the fleet-footed winger, and the French team is hoping to sabotage Leeds’ efforts to sign him. However, Farke’s team is set to make a bid for the 21-year-old as their chase intensifies, according to TEAMtalk.
But after a successful season in the second division, Rowe has also caught the attention of Wolverhampton Wanderers, a Premier League team. Journalist Darren Witcoop has revealed that Gary O’Neil is prepared to challenge Leeds for the winger’s signing.
Romano: Rowe’s Relocation to Elland Road Is Still “Possible”.
The always dependable Romano exclusively informed GIVEMESPORT that a transfer to Elland Road is still a “possibility” in response to a question about if Leeds were still in the running for Rowe.
The football expert stated that although there is increasing demand for his skilled services, it won’t be “an easy one,” but opportunities still exist until the trade session closes on August 30. Romano stated:
Indeed, Leeds is still thinking about this idea. It’s not an easy one, to be honest, but maybe. In response to your inquiry, you still have the opportunity to try again right now. Even though it’s not regarded as very simple, I would hold out hope for this one till the very end of the timeframe.
Leeds Table Offers Rak-Sakyi £15 million.
A number of teams, including Sheffield United, have expressed interest in Crystal Palace outcast Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who has been mentioned as a possible Summerville replacement. Leeds has apparently made a £15 million proposal in order to achieve that.
Journalist Edmund Brack recently disclosed that the former Charlton Athletic player, who saw just 461 minutes of football at Selhurst Park last season, found that a transfer to the Blades was the most alluring alternative.
