Norwich City eyeing up move for £11m Josh Sargent replacement

Norwich City are interested in signing Brøndby forward Mathias Kvistgaarden.

Liam Manning has already added Jacob Wright, Jakov Medic, Harry Darling, Louie Moulden and Daniel Grimshaw to his ranks this summer.

The Canaries will be determined to compete for the play-offs once more next term, after failing to do so last season.

Norwich City eyeing up Mathias Kvistgaarden move

With Norwich targeting some extra firepower in the transfer market, they have turned their sights to Kvistgaarden.

According to Tipsbladet, the Norfolk outfit are in the picture regarding a deal for the 23-year-old this summer with Brøndby close to selling their star.

French side Lens are also in negotiations with the Danish outfit over a potential move for the forward.

Les Sang et are confident of reaching an agreement however the report states that nothing has been finalised yet, with Norwich keen to secure Kvistgaarden’s services for themselves.

Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly another club keeping tabs on the saga.

Brøndby reportedly value Mathias Kvistgaarden around the €13 (£11) million mark, which would make him the most expensive sale in the side’s history.

Kvistgaarden netted 23 times for the Danish outfit last season and made his national team debut in May.

The attacker has a contract with Brøndby until 2027, but the club are realistic about their chances of keeping him in Denmark this summer.

Mathias Kvistgaarden could be an exciting Josh Sargent replacement

In a similar fashion to Brøndby, it seems only a matter of time before Norwich City lose one of their star forwards this summer.

Josh Sargent has bagged 44 goals across the last three Championship campaigns and developed into one of the Canaries’ most important players as a result.

City face stiff competition in Mathias Kvistgaarden pursuit

Clubs such as Wolfsburg, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Roma are all reportedly in the race for the 25-year-old’s signature.

Football League World exclusively revealed that Scott Parker’s Burnley side also hold a keen interest in the USMNT striker.

Norwich could use the money from Sargent’s potential sale to sign Kvistgaarden, whose return last season has rightfully attracted clubs from all across Europe.

With proven goalscoring credentials and bags of potential at such a tender age, the Canaries could act fast to secure a suitable Sargent replacement.

Norwich City set to sign the nephew of the ‘Derry Pele’ and former Northern Ireland international

Norwich City have already been busy this summer transfer window as they look to push for promotion back to the Premier League, with next season being their fourth outside the English top flight.

The Canaries have been busy, having already signed Harry Darling, Jakov Medic and goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic.

Norwich City are looking to build on last season despite impressing in a couple of departments, as only champions Leeds United scored more than their 71 league goals in 2024/25; Johannes Hoff Thorup’s side also had the sixth-most porous backline.

New boss Liam Manning has reunited with Harry Darling at the club while also adding some talent from mainland Europe.

Now the East Anglian club may be looking a little closer to home for their next signing as they explore options across the Irish Sea.

Norwich City are interested in signing Glenn McCourt

The teenage sensation could be set to sign for Norwich, having been of interest to Premier League sides last season, but Glenn McCourt decided to remain at Derry City.

According to reports in the Pinkun, the 17-year-old may be joining the development squad at Carrow Road.

He has already featured at senior level for his local club, Derry City, in the League of Ireland.

It is also widely known that he is the nephew of Derry legend Paddy McCourt, who was loved at many of the clubs he played for in Ireland, Scotland and England.

As he follows the example set by his uncle to move across the Irish Sea, he will hope he can get a nickname as good as Paddy, with the former Northern Ireland international being labelled the ‘Derry Pele’.

Who was the Derry Pele?

Paddy McCourt began his career at Rochdale after he was scouted from his local club in Derry, impressing in the Third Division and receiving interest from the Premier League during his four years at the club from Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City.

He left the club after an injury and loss of form, moving to Shamrock Rovers in 2005 for a season before moving to local club Derry City.

He spent three years at the Candystripes before moving to Celtic, spending five years in Scotland before moving south of the border for the next three seasons, playing for four different clubs in the Championship and League One including Luton Town.

McCourt earned the ‘Derry Pele’ nickname in his local city, and it would follow him through his career due to his ability on the ball and his dribbling ability; he was more similar to George Best, but the ‘Derry Pele’ nickname stuck.
