Norwich City started work on deal for in-form summer signing ‘as early as February’
Norwich City head of recruitment Lee Dunn has said work on the deal to sign Callum Doyle started ‘as early as February’.
Norwich City are a club in transition with significant changes made both on and off the pitch.
It has been an exciting start to life under the new boss Johannes Hoff Thorup. The Canaries are on a good run at the minute picking up 10 points from a possible 12 and one man key in this early success has been summer loan signing Callum Doyle.
Doyle is on loan at Carrow Road from Manchester City. Many might have thought a step up awaited following his role in Leicester City’s promotion but the Norfolk outfit were able to pull off the impressive coup.
Now, Norwich City head of recruitment, Lee Dunn, has spoken to the Pink Un about the club’s process in signing the new star. He said:
“I was in contact with his representatives, probably as early as February, and Manchester City in March. And that was kind of on-going until the conclusion of last season.
“Then when it was clear we needed to recruit this profile for our game model that was a pretty intense period of meeting the player, presenting to Manchester City as well, because ultimately, he’s Manchester City’s player.
“We needed to present our plan to them in terms of how he would fit, how we would help improve him, how Johannes was going to play.
