Norwich City lost 1-0 against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon, with Arnaud Danjuma’s goal the difference between the two sides.

The Canaries were disappointing, and failed to break down Jason Tindall’s side without Emiliano Buendia or Todd Cantwell in the side.

Both players were left out of the squad amid speculation over their futures, with Cantwell seemingly closer to leaving than Buendia.

Press Association Sport report that talks have been held between Norwich and Leeds United for Cantwell to head to Elland Road.

The 22-year-old would allegedly cost around £15million, with Leeds seeking a new creative player having failed to land Udinese’s Rodrigo De Paul.

Cantwell impressed in the Premier League last season, bagging six goals and two assists as Norwich failed to stay in the top flight.

Compared to Jack Grealish and James Maddison in the past, Cantwell could be a versatile, creative option for Leeds – but there have been mixed reactions from Norwich fans.

Some Canaries supporters think that Cantwell is a ‘top player’, but the general consensus is that Norwich should take the £15million on offer.

Others suggested they would pay for Cantwell’s taxi to Leeds as it’s time for him to go, adding that Norwich won’t miss him too much, suggesting that he is very average, goes missing and isn’t consistent enough.
