Leeds United target Yasser Larouci will definitely leave Liverpool this summer, but Norwich City are now in the race to sign him, according to the Daily Mirror.

Larouci has turned down a contract offer with Liverpool, with the Reds admitting defeat in the battle to keep him.

Goal claim that Leeds are sniffing around the full-back, as they look to bring him in to strengthen Marcelo Bielsa’s squad upon their return to the Premier League.

But it seems that Leeds could now face competition for Norwich for the youngster’s signature.

Norwich have been a bit of a nemesis for Leeds in the transfer market in recent times, with a number of the Whites’ star players making the move to Carrow Road.

However, it is now Leeds who are in the position of power – as they have swapped divisions with Norwich.

Bielsa’s side may just be confident that they can see off the threat of Norwich and sign Larouci after returning to the Premier League, although the youngster’s chances of first-team football may be greater in East Anglia.
