Stuart Dallas was linked with a move to Norwich City in the summer transfer window before he signed a new contract with Leeds United.

Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen has said that he is pleased with Stuart Dallas’s decision to sign a new contract, as quoted in a video posted in The Yorkshire Evening Post.

Dallas signed a new three-year contract at Leeds towards the end of the summer transfer window which will see him remain at Elland Road until the end of the 2019-20 season.

Prior to committing his future to the Whites, the Northern Ireland international winger was linked with a move away from Elland Road.

According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Norwich City were interested in signing the 26-year-old winger from Championship rivals Leeds in the summer transfer window.

Leeds head coach Christiansen has praised Dallas, and has expressed his delight at the decision of the former Crusaders star to commit his long-term future to the Whites.

“I like the good players, the players with the right mentality, ambition, and he is one of them,” Christiansen is quoted as saying in a video posted in The Yorkshire Evening Post about Dallas. “That he renewed his contract is very good, good sign.”

Dallas joined Leeds from Championship rivals Brentford in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £1.3 million.

The Norther Ireland international, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, joined Leeds when Use Rosler was the first-team head coach and worked with him at Brentford.
