Norwich City may have potential hurdle to overcome in transfer race with Fenerbahce and Lens
It has been a promising start to the 2024/25 Championship season for those of a Norwich City persuasion.
Under new coach Johannes Hoff Thorup, the Canaries will have been hoping to improve on their play-off semi-final defeat from last season.
So far, the signs are encouraging that they will give themselves a chance to do that, with the Carrow Road club currently seventh in the table, just a point adrift of the top six.
Meanwhile, as things start to come together on the pitch, it appears as though plans are already taking shape off it as well, as Norwich start to look towards future transfer windows.
Norwich linked with Bright Osayi-Samuel signing
According to recent reports from Turkish outlet Fanatik, the Canaries are interested in a move to sign Bright Osayi-Samuel.
The 26-year-old is currently on the books of Fenerbahce, but his contract with the Turkish giants is due to expire at the end of this season.
As a result, he will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs such as Norwich from January, that would see him join on a free transfer next summer.
It is suggested that the club are keen to bring him to Carrow Road as part of such an agreement, in what could be a useful addition for the club.
On a free transfer, there is less financial risk associated with this deal, and it does leave space in the budget for other deals.
At 26-years-old, Osayi-Samuel can also be a long-term option as well, but is not short on experience in the Championship after his previous three-and-a-half-year spell with QPR.
