Josh Sargent has delivered back-to-back impressive seasons with Norwich City, but the American is tipped for a potential move back to the English Premier League this summer.
Leeds United heads into the weekend, knowing a victory over Southampton on Sunday at Wembley Stadium will earn them promotion back to the top-flight. The Lilywhites recently eliminated Sargent and the Canaries from the promotion playoffs earlier this month, rolling 4-0 in the second leg at Elland Road.
Sargent, who scored just two goals in his lone EPL campaign, has since totaled 29 in the EFL Championship. The 24-year-old might be committed to helping Norwich City get back to the Premier League, but former Manchester United and Leeds United winger Lee Sharpe believes that Sargent would be a positive addition for the Yorkshire club, if they can get the job done on Sunday.
“You need to have a bigger squad if you are going to stay in the Premier League and Sargent is a top player so he is one who can do well,” Sharpe said in an interview with Football League World.
“He seems to have the hunger and the right attitude, so will relish the step up of the Premier League.”
Sargent is set to join up with the U.S. men’s national team this June for pre-Copa America friendlies vs. Colombia and Brazil, seeking his first cap since the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. A positive window against both could propel Sargent into Gregg Berhalter’s group stage roster for the competition before a potential return for Norwich City camp or a move to Elland Road.
For now Sargent remains a Norwich City player, but that could very well change by the start of the new English campaign in August.
