Tony Mowbray ‘launches £1m offer’ for ex-Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Leeds United attacker | OneFootball

Tony Mowbray has tabled an offer to bring former Sunderland academy forward Sam Greenwood to Blackburn Rovers, with Pogon Szczecin said to have turned it down, according to Ben Jacobs.

The proposal was worth £650,000 up front, with add-ons taking the deal to £1million. Other Championship clubs have also enquired about the 24-year-old.

Greenwood began at Hebburn Town Juniors and Sunderland, leaving Wearside for Arsenal’s academy in 2018. He joined Leeds United in 2020 in a move reported at around £1.5million and made his senior debut in an FA Cup defeat at Crawley Town in January 2021.

He later made his Premier League debut for Leeds and earned a first top-flight start on the final day of 2021-22, when Leeds beat Brentford to secure survival. He scored his first Premier League goal in a 4-3 win over Bournemouth at Elland Road in November 2022.

Greenwood then had Championship loans with Middlesbrough and Preston North End. While at Middlesbrough he scored against boyhood club Sunderland in a 4-0 Wear-Tees victory at the Stadium of Light in October 2023.

He moved to Poland last summer, joining Pogon Szczecin on a three-year contract with an option for a further year. The fee was reported at €1.8million to €2million, making him the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
