Leeds United are being linked with a move for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Oliver Norwood.
The Whites are hoping to get a couple of deals done before the end of the transfer window tomorrow and their manager, Marcelo Bielsa, is believed to be a fan of Norwood.
He spent last season on loan at Fulham in the Championship and played 41 games for them. He played a part in the Cottagers’ promotion to the Premier League under Slavisa Jokanovic.
The 27-year-old started out at Manchester United and enjoyed loan spells at Carlisle United, Scunthorpe United and Coventry City in his early career. He then left United on a permanent deal in 2012 to join Huddersfield Town, where he spent two seasons.
Reading snapped him up in 2014 and he spent another two years in the Championship with the Royals. He then moved to Brighton in 2016 and helped the Seagulls gain promotion to the top flight in his first season at the club.
Norwood has bags of experience in the Championship. Here is how Leeds United fans have reacted on Twitter to the news that they want to sign him-
If we could get Caulker and Norwood that would be a quality end to the transfer window! #lufc

Norwood would be class and knows how to get promoted, but Saville scored 10 goals as a number 8 last year in a high-tempo Millwall squad, the only club I'd say matches our intensity of our first game. Saville would be a coup. Not up to us though, is it? #lufc

I would be happy if Leeds signed Albert Adomah, Oliver Norwood & a defender before the transfer window closes on Thursday👍#lufc #mot

Norwood makes the most sense, player with that quality only for 1.5m is a snip #lufc

Would be happy if Leeds signed midfielder Oliver Norwood, would he get first team football thought with the likes of Phillips & Klich doing well?.. #lufc #mot
