The 19-year-old signed on a loan deal from the Red Devils in January until the end of the season having spent the first half of the season at Sheffield Wednesday. The intention was to help provide cover at the back following a string of injuries which left the club temporarily without a fit left back and Kellen Fisher operating out of position to try and provide cover.

Amass however only made a brief appearance in yellow and green before the young defender suffered a "serious" injury in training, later revealed to be a hamstring injury, just days after making his Canaries debut as a substitute in the victory over Championship league leaders Coventry City.

In his pre match press conference on Sunday before Norwich's match against Millwall on Easter Monday, Norwich City manager Philippe Clement said that Amass has now returned to parent club Manchester United to continue his rehabilitation and sadly is not expected to play again for Norwich before his deal runs out at the end of the season.

"We wanted things to be different with Harry, but Manchester United are the owners of the player and they decided not to come here for his rehab and not to have Harry here in these weeks," Clement said.

"We wish it was a different situation and I don't want to go into what Harry wanted, that's for him to say but it is what it is; they are the owners of the player and they decided to keep him there until the end of the season."

While sitting catching up with the football news on this sunny bank holiday morning, one item caught my attention.  There are reports circulating that former Norwich favourite Gabriel Sara could be returning to England with new Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi making him an early target

CaughtOffside have declared that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to make an early move in order to position themselves as favourites for the potential transfer of Galatasaray midfielder Gabriel Sara during the summer transfer window.

Sara  during his time at Norwich City previously featured in the Premier League duri. The popular Brazilian who has just won his forst international cap is capable of operating in both central and attacking midfield roles and has already recorded nine goal involvements this season for his club.

Spurs have now made initial contact with those close to Sara to register their interest, with the 26-year-old understood to be keen on a move back to the England and the Premier League with his young family

Manchester United face a battle with their Premier League rivals to sign highly rated Norwich City defender Kellen Fisher after scouts delivered glowing reports, according to a new report.

Fisher has built on this progress and established himself as a permanent fixture in Phillipe Clement’s side this season. He made his debut for England Under-21s in November, coming off the bench in a 4-0 win over Slovakia in a European Championship qualifier.

Fisher’s tactical intelligence and relentless work rate are his standout qualities, enabling him to play effectively in a variety of roles across the pitch.

Championship analysts have been impressed by his composure in possession, as well as his confidence in driving forward to join attacks from defence. A number of England’s biggest clubs, including Manchester United, have “watched him closely in recent weeks” as they spy a bargain deal for a defender who is a manager’s dream as a squad player, according to TEAMtalk.

A versatile full-back, capable of playing on either flank, Fisher’s stock continues to rise after joining Norwich from League Two side Bromley for around £100,000 in 2023.

The 21-year-old won the Canaries’ Young Player of the Year award last season, playing 38 times while delivering four assists from right-back mainly, though he also played on the wing on both flanks.

Toronto FC have today reached an agreement to acquire U.S. international forward Josh Sargent from Norwich City, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

This development concludes a long, public and very ugly saga, which intensified after Sargent requested to be excluded from Norwich’s squad for an FA Cup fixture last month. Following that request, Sargent found himself sidelined, training with the Under-21 team, and he went on to miss the club’s last eight matches as tensions between him and the management escalated.

Despite this, Norwich City havr maintained that Sargent, who is under contract with the club until 2028, was not up for sale.

Toronto FC has have agreed to pay an upfront fee of $22 million (£16.3 million) for the 25-year-old forward, with potential add-ons that could bring the total package to $27 million (£20 million). This fee represents one of the largest transfers in Major League Soccer history, trailing only Son Heung-min’s transfer fee of $26.5 million to LAFC and Emmanuel Latte Lath’s $22 million move to Atlanta United. Previously, Norwich rejected an $18 million offer from Toronto, deeming it insufficient.

Sargent is poised to take a central role in Toronto FC’s revamped lineup, joining fellow designated player Djordje Mihailovic and bolstered by free-agent center-back Walker Zimmerman and central midfielder Jose Cifuentes. He will be looking to reinforce his position in the U.S. Men’s National Team as the World Cup approaches this summer. Despite earning 29 caps for the national team, Sargent’s last goal came in 2019, and he faces tough competition, with forwards like Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, Haji Wright, and Patrick Agyemang ahead of him in the depth chart.

On a club level, Sargent’s productivity has been notable; he was included in the EFL Championship Team of the Season last year, tallying 15 goals and five assists in 32 appearances. He scored seven league goals before his fallout with Norwich’s management, where he played since 2021 across both the Premier League and Championship, netting 56 goals in 157 appearances overall.

Randers chief Jesper Sorensen has said in the Danish media that the club would have almost certainly have tried to increase Mohamed Toure's price tag if they were able to predict his start to life at Norwich City with his impressive start where he became the first player since 2013 in any division to score a hattrick on his full debut.

The Canaries swooped for the Australian international striker at the end of the winter transfer window for an initial £2.6m, with a potential £700,000 in add-ons and bonuses.  Sorenson goes on to say that whilst Toure had been scouted by many clubs Norwich were the only ones to act decisively and offer a fair price for the young striker

"The dialogue with Norwich was good. They showed understanding for the demands we had and the potential we could see," Sorensen told Danish outlet Bold.

"I can't comment on the numbers, but just point out that it's a good Randers sale. So it's clear that if he had played the whole autumn, as he has started in Norwich, the price would probably have been different. But that wasn't the case, and that's why we're proud of the sale we ended up making.

"We are, of course, looking forward to both achieving various bonuses and the opportunity to realise the resale clause that exists. Because he has the potential to go really far."

"There were many suitors, but there were also many who weren't concrete. It was Sturm Graz this summer, but we couldn't agree on a suitable sum," said Sorensen. "The rest of the offers that have come in have been minimal, and they haven't been interesting enough.

"There have always been scouts and clubs who have taken note of his potential. Then there have been matches where he hasn't shown it, but no one could take those extraordinary things away from him, and you don't find those skills in many places. In that respect, he is simply unique."

 

 

After the match away at Oxford United it was confirmed by the Canaries Head Coach Philippe Clement that Norwich City top scorer Jovon Makama could miss the rest of the season because of a foot injury,

Makama has scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the Canaries but limped off in the second half against Blackburn Rovers last weekend, a game which team-mate Papa Amadou Diallo missed after being injured in the warm-up.

"Jov broke a bone in his foot so he will be out probably until the end of the season, or just in the last games that he will be back," Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk following Tuesday's 3-0 win at Oxford United.

Norwich City head coach Philippe Clement gave an injury update at his press conference today ahead of the lunchtime kick off tomorrow at home to Blackburn in the Championship

The main injury news is that Matej Jurasek will not be available for selection for the game at Carrow Road as he has picked up a foot injury in training and requires tests to understand how long he faces on the sidelines. Clement told the assembled media that the Norwich City wide man has developed a problem with his foot and although it is not a fracture, a specialist assessment is required to determine the extent of the issue.

22-year-old Jurasek’s tough time at Norwich City has been well documented. He joined from Slavia Prague with a growing reputation last winter but the winger has often struggled to make a impact and has also found form hard to come by consistently

Elsewhere, Shane Duffy and Jeffrey Schlupp are still on the road back to fitness, but in more positive news for Canaries fans Amankwah Forson has been back in training this week as he returns from his own injury issues. He will not be fit to feature on Saturday, but Norwich City boss Clement is eager to bring him back as a more robust player
