The USA international has been with Norwich since 2021, having joined while current Whites boss Daniel Farke was in charge of the Canaries.

His time with Farke, however, was short-lived as Norwich axed him as head coach just three months after Sargent’s arrival.

According to Football Insider, a reunion could be on the cards as Sargent features on Leeds’ striker shortlist.

Sargent managed just two goals for Norwich in the Premier League, although has notched 14 in the Championship since the Canaries were relegated.

He arrived in England from Germany, where he plied his trade for Werder Bremen. The River Islanders had plucked him from the IMG Academy, based in Florida.

Leeds are light in the forwards department, with Wilfried Gnonto’s unavailability and injuries to Patrick Bamford and Mateo Joseph exacerbating Farke’s selection headaches.

The Football Insider report states Sargent could be the subject of a Leeds bid “in the coming days”.
