Leeds United's Championship rivals snap up international star as first signing after big change
One of Leeds United’s Championship rivals have announced an international player as their first signing of the summer.
Leeds United’s Championship rivals Norwich City have snapped up a Copa America-bound international as their first signing of a new era.
The 2023-24 season’s sixth-placed finishers Norwich were hammered 4-0 in the Championship play-off semi-finals second leg at Leeds for a 4-0 defeat on aggregate, after which boss David Wagner was sacked.
The Canaries have since appointed former Nordsjælland boss Johannes Hoff Thorup as the club’s new head coach and Panama international defender Jose Cordoba has now been announced as the club’s first signing of the summer.
Cordoba, 23, who is heading for the Copa America with Panama, will join the club from Bulgarian outfit Levski Sofia when the transfer window opens on Friday, June 14, subject to international clearance and approval by The FA and EFL. The defender has been capped 12 times for his country.
