Former Norwich City striker Chris Sutton has urged Josh Sargent to seal a big-money move away from Carrow Road this summer amid ever-intensifying transfer speculation.
Sargent has been a consistent star in the Championship over the last three seasons, having first joined the Canaries for a reported £8 million fee from Werder Bremen back in 2021 while they were in the Premier League.
The United States international has only made 25 Championship appearances this season through injury, but has established himself as arguably the division’s finest frontman and has enjoyed excellent form when fully fit.
Sargent took his tally to 13 goals for the season by scoring a 92nd-minute winner in Norwich’s 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion on the weekend, while he has also added five assists in what has been his joint-most productive campaign in a Canaries shirt.
Naturally, the 25-year-old has been the subject of speculation in recent times. Reports have linked the likes of Everton, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest to his signature, while a number of undisclosed Premier League and Bundesliga clubs are also said to hold an interest.
Sargent, who is reportedly valued at between €15-20 million (£12.6-£16.8 million) by Norwich, recently stopped short of playing down a potential departure from Carrow Road this summer, and with Johannes Hoff Thorup’s side set to miss out on a play-off finish come next month, there is a growing sense of inevitability among supporters that this season will be his last at the club.
