Leeds United are reportedly keen on signing Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean this month as they lose Tyler Adams to Bournemouth for £23m.
The Whites need midfield recruitments before the end of the summer, having seen Brenden Aaronson, Marc Roca, and Adam Forshaw all leave.
Tyler Adams has joined that list as he completes his £23million move from Leeds to Bournemouth, meaning Daniel Farke is still at the bare bones with his squad.
Kenny McLean to Leeds?
TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds are reacting to the blow of losing Adams by pursuing a move to sign Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean.
It is claimed that Leeds are targeting the 31-year-old as a means to add much-needed experience to a youthful midfield setup, with Archie Gray having featured heavily this season already.
An issue for Leeds is that they may have to pay a decent amount to the Canaries to sign him this month, as the report reads:
“Although, Leeds will need to put up a convincing bid to strike an agreement. That is because McLean still has two years left to run on his Norwich contract, and the Canaries would be reluctant to lose him to one of their Championship rivals.”
Should Leeds cash in on Gnonto?
McLean would add some experience to our side, having been part of both of Farke’s title-winning sides, as well as knowing what the role in midfield requires.
He’s a Farke-ready player if there is such a thing, which could be why this is tempting.
However, there are better ways to add experience to the side without heading for someone who will be 33 next year, and represent no sell-on value.
If Norwich are asking for a decent fee here, we need to look elsewhere.
