2 perfect Callum Doyle replacements Norwich City must try sign as new Thorup revelation emerges
A permanent return to Norwich City in the summer seems unlikely for Callum Doyle with his price tag likely to prove a real barrier for Johannes Hoff Thorup’s side.
The defender has impressed on his fourth temporary loan spell away from Manchester City, becoming a mainstay in the Canaries side. A naturally adept left-footed centre-back, he is the dream for any Championship manager, but according to Thorup the club will struggle to source a permanent deal for his services.
“There’s a price tag that is probably a little bit too difficult for us,” Thorup told Pink Un. “I hope, without being his agent or supervisor or anything like that, that his next step is a club where he will be for two, three or four years.
“I don’t think it’s ideal for a young player to change clubs every season. He’s tried to be clever about his decisions and find clubs where they’re a little bit similar in how they play the game, so it’s not too different.”
Speaking about whether Norwich would have a chance, the Dane added: “If the price tag was realistic for us, then I hope that will be here.”
With the head coach ruling out the possibility of signing Doyle, it seems likely they will need to look for a new centre-back in the summer.
With that in mind, Football League World has identified two ideal replacements for the Manchester City defender.
