Leeds United need one more midfielder and are reportedly planning raids at Brentford and Brighton for Woods and Norwood.
It has been a terrific end to the transfer window so far for Leeds United.
Patrick Bamford and Barry Douglas are major upgrades up front and at left-back, while England U21 winger Jack Harrison arrives on loan with the adulation of Pep Guardiola ringing in his ears.
And, with just a few days to go before the window shuts, the Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Leeds are still looking for a new midfielder with two proven Championship talents at the top of their wish list.
It is reported that Leeds have shown an interest in signing Brighton’s Oliver Norwood. The Northern Ireland international won promotion from the Championship during a loan spell at Fulham last season.
The YEP adds that Leeds are also one of a number of second-tier sides interested in the highly-rated Brentford midfielder Ryan Woods. The 24-year-old would not come cheap, however, given that Swansea City were tipped to make a £7 million bid, according to Sky Sports.
Interestingly, Leeds fans had taken to Twitter last week to encourage a move for Woods, who scored in a 3-1 win for Brentford against the Whites last season.
Both Norwood and Woods would provide the energy and talent in possession that Marcelo Bielsa is looking for, particularly now Ronaldo Vieira has gone and Adam Forshaw is set for six weeks on the sidelines.
