Norwich have told Leeds to cough up £5million if they want to re-sign Jonny Howson.

The Canaries midfielder has rejected a new deal at Carrow Road and wants to move back north to City's Championship rivals.

Howson, 29, remains a popular figure at Elland Road, where he played from 2006–2012 after breaking through as a youngster before moving to Norwich.

The Canaries, under new sporting director Stuart Webber, are prepared to sell as they rebuild the club following relegation two seasons ago.

But City are adamant Howson, who has made 188 appearances and scored 24 goals for them, will not go on the cheap.

Howson became Leeds' youngest captain since the iconic Billy Bremner as a 19-year-old in April 2009.

He led the Whites to automatic promotion from League One in the 2009-2010 season.
