Transfer Rumour: Ipswich & Wrexham Joining Race For Norwich Target Kasper Høgh

Norwich City's pursuit of Danish striker Kasper Høgh looks to be at risk of hijacking with two other Championship clubs looking to enter the race according to reports from Football League World .

Nocrwich, who are undergoing a dramatic upturn in form under Philippe Clement since his appointment, have been looking to sign a new number nine since Josh Sargent's future at Carrow Road became unclear with the USA international declining to play in the club's FA Cup Round 3 fixture, and looking for a move back across the Atlantic to MLS franchise Toronto FC.

An €8 million (£6.9 million) bid was submitted earlier in the week by The Canaries to Norwegian champions Bodø/Glimt , according to Fabrizio Romano.  This came before his match-winning goal in the UEFA Champions League fixture for the club away at Atletico Madrid.  The move looks like it could now get hijacked by another Championship club.

Scottish champions Celtic have also been lurking in regards to 25-year-old Høgh, but there is even more interest from EFL clubs in the striker's services, having scored 17 Eliteserien goals in 2025 for Bodø as well as his goals in the Champions League.

Football League World reports that Ipswich Town who are Norwich City's long standing East Anglian rivals are also now potentially in the mix for the signingof Høgh as they search for their own striker to add to their squad.  Ipswich have already been reported to have eyed up Sam Surridge of Nashville and Leeds United's Joel Piroe earlier in this transfer window.

Also interested in Høgh is none other than Wrexham who recently lost at home 1-2 to the Canaries, with the ambitious North Wales outfit targeting a fourth consecutive promotion from the National League to the Premier League.

Phil Parkinson's teamare currently well-positioned for a play-off push, but are looking for another body in attack to try and push them over the line.

Injury Update: Norwich's Mattson out for 'several weeks'

Norwich City are looking to continue their rich vein of recent form and make it four league wins in a row when they visit 2nd in the league Middlesbrough in the Championship on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Head coach Philippe Clement was speaking to the press in his usual press conference before the match. Here are some of the key points:

Midfielder Pelle Mattsson will be out for "a while" with an ankle injury after coming off at half-time during Monday's 2-1 win over Coventry. When asked about a specific timescale, Clement added: "Several weeks."

Clement says it may alter City's transfer plans with Monday's deadline looming.

Midfielder Amankwah Forson will be in full training next week as he returns from injury.

New signing Paris Maghoma will not be involved against Middlesbrough. Clement said he is still getting up to speed with his match fitness.

"Everyone in the club is working really hard day and night to get what we want," Clement said, hinting there could be more business done for the Canaries in the coming days.

Transfer Rumour: Norwich Make Fresh €8m Bid for Striker Kasper Høgh

It was reported on January 20 by Mike McGrath that Norwich had submitted an offer for prolific Bodø/Glimt striker Kasper Høgh, who has so far scored 17 times in the 2025 Eliteserien season for his club.  However that offer came right before a match-winning brace against Man City in the UEFA Champions League which thrust him into the spotlight.

Since then, Scottish giants Celtic have emerged as serious rivals for the 25-year-old's signature, with Pete O'Rourke confirming their interest this week, but it looks like Norwich City have in the mean time submitted another offer to try and get ahead in the racer to sign the sought after Danish striker.

As claimed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a fresh offer has landed at Bodø/Glimt's door from The Canaries for €8 million (£6.94 million), with the offer also including add-ons for the prolific 6ft 1in front man.

From all the reports The Canaries appear to be very keen to bring Høgh to Carrow Road, despite the prolific season that summer signing Jovon Makama is having after arriving from Lincoln City last year. Should they succeed in persuading the Dane to move to England, it seems likely it will enable the club to bring an end to the dirty saga that is Josh Sargent's desire to leave.

Transfer Rumour: Norwich Interested In Rangers Attacker Rabbi Matondo

Reports are circulating on the internet this afternoon in The72 that Norwich City have revived their interest in Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo, with Clement keen on reuniting with the 25-year-old on a loan deal until the end of the season after managing the player during his time in charge of the Glasgow Club

Matondo is a player that some Norwich City fans may well be familiar with from previous transfer efforts a couple of years ago. The Canaries tried to land the Welshman in the summer of 2024, but were knocked back with their approach at the time.

Clement was manager of Rangers when Norwich made their previous approach, and after Matondo scored twice and provided two assists in a 6-0 win over Ross County, the Belgian made a decision to keep him at Ibrox.

Injury would disrupt his involvement under Clement thereafter before a loan to 2. Bundesliga side Hannover 96 the following January. Matondo has been back in the squad after another lay-off but he is being eyed for a reunion with Clement at Carrow Road.

A 15-cap Wales international, Matondo primarily plays on the wing but has been utilised in central roles too. The speedy attacker played the best football of his Rangers career under Clement and will be eager to get back to those levels over the second half of this season.

Transfer Rumour: Toronto Return With Increased Josh Sargent Offer

MLS side Toronto FC are not giving up on striking a deal with Norwich City for their wantaway USMNT Striker Josh Sargent this January, with the Canadian club having submitted a fresh offer, having previously been rebuffed.

As per Pete O'Rourke via X, Toronto FC have submitted a fresh offer for Norwich City's American striker Josh Sargent.

Sargent has not been involved in a matchday squad since the Canaries' 2-0 home loss to Stoke City at the beginning of January, having told manager Philippe Clement he does not wish to be made available for selection, angling for a move back to his native North America.

Toronto have already seen an $18 million (£13.5 million) rejected by Norwich, as per Fabrizio Romano, with the Canaries steadfast in their stance on the 25-year-old. MLS side Toronto are pushing to strike a deal with Norwich before the end of the month for Sargent, with the Canadian club submitting an improved offer for the American forward.

Details of the fresh offer are yet to be confirmed, but it can be assumed that it is more than the $18 million (£13.5 million) that was previously rejected.  Norwich previously accepted a £21 million bid from German side VFL Wolfsburg in the summer for Sargent, only for him to turn down a return to Germany in favour of remaining in England.

Interest from other clubs in England had emerged, as reported by Mike McGrath via X, Nottingham Forest was another club that had previously been credited with a potential move for Sargent.

However, it appears as though Sargent only wants a move to Toronto, citing his desire to return to his native continent for family reasons, with reports emerging of a heated argument with sporting director Ben Knapper surfacing, where the American left the meeting visibly upset.

Done Deal: Brentford Attacking Midfielder Paris Maghoma Joins Norwich

Norwich City have today paid an undisclosed fee to Premier League club Brentford for their attacking midfielder Paris Maghoma.

The 24-year-old has agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract at Carrow Road with the option of another year. His arrival follows the signings of winger Ali Ahmed and full-back Harry Amass, the latter on loan from Manchester United.

Maghoma has made eight Premier League appearances as a substitute but his only senior start for Brentford was in an FA Cup defeat at Plymouth 12 months ago.

"It's a massive club that has got a lot of ambitions to get back where they definitely belong," he said.

"I've had great conversations with a lot of people, great conversations with the gaffer. The style of football and everything about it is exactly where I envisage myself being."

The deal was announced just three hours before Norwich's home game against Championship leaders Coventry City.

The Canaries are 20th in the table having won their last two matches under head coach Philippe Clement.

"Paris has always been a huge talent with a really interesting profile," said Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper.

"We believe he has the quality, potential and personality to be a big asset here and we're all looking forward to seeing him help us move towards our goals and objectives."

Transfer Rumour: Norwich Chasing Reading Midfielder Charlie Savage

Norwich City are plotting a late move for Reading’s Charlie Savage according to website SportsBoom.

The Royals’ midfielder has been the sources of major interest this month as the Championship vultures have descended on one of League One’s brightest prospects.

Oxford United have seen two bids, of £500,000 and £750,000, turned down by their local rivals. 

Savage was new U’s boss Matt Bloomfield’s top target this window, but it is understood the club have been priced out of a move.

Reading are ready to dig their heels in and do not want to lose their star man at this key stage of the season, with the ambition of making the play-offs still a possibility. 

SportsBoom report that Reading value Savage at £1.5million and will not budge in terms of asking price.

Both Portsmouth and the Canaries are eager to get reinforcements through the door this month in order to beat the drop.  And both have seemingly shown significant interest in the young Midfielder

And they are both believed to be prepared to stump up the cash for the two-time Welsh international.
