The 49ers are ready to green light a deal for the Norwich City star.
The Missouri-born attacker has scored a total of 18 goals in 73 appearances for Norwich, so he has not been prolific, but there is evidence he is now coming into his prime, having found the back of the net 13 times in the Championship last season.
Lauded as an “absolute animal” by members of the media, the American was ranked by Sofascore as the Canaries’ fourth-best performing player in the Championship last term, and he could be a versatile option for Farke.
The £12k-per-week attacker is also capable of playing at right-wing, weighing in with six goals and four assists in 38 games in that area of the pitch.
Sargent is yet to prove himself as an out-and-out goalscorer, so it may be worth Leeds bringing in a more experienced option alongside him, such as Antonio, but he is a top player at Championship level, and he could be a real boost in the Whites’ promotion push this season.
