Norwich City issued “massive backwards step” transfer warning
Sky Sports pundit Lee Hendrie believes that Norwich City will take a massive step backwards if Josh Sargent and Borja Sainz are sold this summer.
The Canaries are currently in the mix for a play-off place in the Championship, but could lose two of their star players at the end of the campaign, particularly if promotion isn’t secured.
It was reported last weekend by Alan Nixon that Sheffield United are eyeing a move for the Spaniard, with their sights set on automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Teamtalk have also written that Leeds United are among the sides eyeing a move for Sargent this summer, with Nottingham Forest also linked.
Lee Hendrie makes Norwich summer sales claim
Hendrie has claimed that losing both Sargent and Sainz this summer would be a massive blow for Norwich.
He believes the team needs bolstering in order to compete for promotion even with the pair still at the club, so expects them to take a step backwards if they depart.
“If Norwich lose Josh Sargent and Borja Sainz, if they leave in the summer, will it be a big blow? Yes, it will be,” Hendrie exclusively told Football League World.
“If anything it just typifies that the club hasn’t performed this season.
