The 3 Norwich City players we can see leaving in January

Norwich City have made a solid start to the season under new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup.

The Dane was appointed over the summer following the decision to part ways with David Wagner.

The Canaries finished sixth last season, so will be targeting another run to the play-offs in a bid to gain Premier League promotion.

But a tricky summer transfer window saw the club lose the likes of Gabriel Sara and Jonathan Rowe from their first team squad, as well as Adam Idah.

Throup will be hoping that the team won’t go through similar losses in the winter window, which opens on 1 January, as it could be quite disruptive to their promotion ambitions.

Here we look at the Norwich players that could leave the club during the winter window…

Borja Sainz has made an excellent start to the new season, with his hat-trick against Derby County at the end of September proving a standout highlight.

The Spaniard has stepped up in the absence of Sara, and will prove crucial to any promotion push this year.

However, it was reported by Spanish outlet El Correo that Athletic Club are interested in signing the Norwich star.

The opportunity to move to La Liga would be difficult for Sainz to turn down, especially the Basque club which has close ties to its community.

Athletic are even competing in the Europa League this year, so the chance to compete at that level would be a big jump up on what Norwich can offer.
