Striker looking to move on from Norwich City this summer

WHAT HAPPENED?

U.S. men's national team striker Josh Sargent is reportedly in discussions with German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg over a transfer from Norwich City this summer, according to The Athletic.

Sargent, 25, has been linked with a move away from the club after a brilliant 2024-25 campaign at the club level, where he was the fourth-highest goalscorer in the Championship, with 15 goals in 32 games.

He originally broke out in Germany as a teenager with Werder Bremen. On his 18th birthday in 2018, he signed a professional contract with the club, and then was a regular with the senior team until he joined Norwich in the summer of 2021.

For the Canaries, Sargent scored 48 goals across 133 games in four seasons with the club. Internationally, Sargent has made 26 appearances for the USMNT, scoring five times and recording one assist.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Canaries manager Liam Manning told BBC Radio Norfolk on Monday that it's no surprise to him that Sargent is being linked with top clubs, but that as things stand, no deal is over the line and he's a Norwich player until that changes.
