Leeds United should make a move for Norwich City’s Alex Pritchard in the summer transfer window.
Pablo Hernandez is Leeds United’s creator-in-chief, but as recent results have shown, he does not always play well.
The 32-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, is still Leeds’s most creative player, but he does go through spells when he fails to play to the best of his ability.
For Leeds to have a good season in the Championship in 2017-18, they need someone who can replace Hernandez when he has a dip in form and who can push the Spaniard to be consistent.
Alex Pritchard could be that player. Currently at Norwich City, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder would be a brilliant signing for Leeds in the summer transfer window and would make them a better team.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is not having a great season at Norwich at the moment, having scored five goals and provided seven assists in 29 Championship appearances, but there can be no doubt that he is a hugely talented and promising player.
Norwich may not be willing to part company with the former England Under-21 international in the summer transfer window, but Leeds are a bigger club and could tempt the Canaries with a decent transfer fee.
The Canaries would be aiming to finish in the Championship playoffs next season, but Leeds should do all they can to sign Pritchard in the summer and enhance their chances of having a successful 2017-18 campaign.
