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."

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.

Norwich City are reported to be closing in on the permanent signing of Brentford attacking midfielder Paris Maghoma according to news published this morning by The PinkUn.

The 24-year-old midfielder is set to undergo a medical this week ahead of a permanent move to The Canaries as they continue to seek to add qulity and depth to their midfield and attacking ranks. He is poised to follow both Ali Ahmed and Harry Amass into Philippe Clement’s Norwich City squad, barring any last minute hiccups.

Maghoma is expected to fill the number 10 berth for Norwich, which has been among their top priorities in the transfer window this month with a number of different players tried int he role over recent weeks.

A striker also remains on the the clubs' with Bodø/Glimt forward Kasper Hogh still an active target as the window enters in final week and with the ongoing Josh Sargent transfer saga.

Maghoma joined Brentford after a prolonged spell in Tottenham Hotspur’s academy. Eight of his 10 senior appearances for the Bees have come in the Premier League in the 2024/25 campaign. He has also enjoyed loan spells lower down the EFL with Wimbledon, MK Dons and Bolton Wanderers.

Norwich City have signed teenage defender Harry Amass on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season. Amass' main position is left back so the signing is clearly a reaction from the club to the injury to Lucien Mahovo .

The 18-year-old has been on loan with City's Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday since the start of this campaign, playing 21 times for the Owls.

Canaries sporting director Ben Knapper told the Norwich website Amass's quality was clear from his "impressive" stint with Wednesday.

"He has shown he is clearly ready to compete, and excel, at this level," Knapper said. "He'll add quality and strengthen the left-back position. He's fit and ready to go."

London-born Amass joined Watford at the age of nine and moved to Manchester United in August 2023.

The England youth international made his senior debut in March 2025, coming off the bench in a Premier League fixture away to Leicester City - the first of seven appearances for the Old Trafford club.

Norwich City striker Josh Sargent has turned down the chance to join Leeds United or Sunderland in the January transfer window, sources have told TEAMtalk, with the USA international striker having set his heart on a move to Toronto FC instead.

TEAMtalk claim that Sargent looks increasingly likely to turn his back on England having spurned attention from a host of Premier League clubs in order to focus on a return to North America, with Toronto FC now pushing hard to bring him to Major League Soccer.

Sargent has told the Canaries hierarchy that he and his family want to head back across the Atlantic. With that stance made clear, Sargent’s future in Norfolk appears all but over.

What makes the situation more intriguing is the level of interest Sargent has had.

TEAMtalk have revealed that Sunderland and Leeds were among the clubs who made tentative enquiries in the last month, exploring the possibility of bringing the American back to the Premier League spotlight.

Despite being eight points above the Premier League bottom three, Leeds are not out of the woods yet and could do with more firepower in attack.

Sunderland’s recent form has dipped, with the Black Cats having won just one of their last six Premier League games.

However, Regis Le Bris’ side are just three points off the Champions League places, and the arrival of Sargent would boost their chances of an unlikely Premier League top-four finish.

Norwich City’s reported interest in striker Kasper Høgh is seemingly set to be hijacked by Hearts after the Danish hitman’s double in Bodo/Glimt’s stunning 3-1 Champions League win over Manchester City according to reports on the Sportsboom website

The Scottish Premiership league leaders are looking to replace the goals of captain and talisman Lawrence Shankland. The Scottish international is set to be sidelined for up to two months with a hamstring injury sustained in Hearts’ Scottish Cup exit against Falkirk earlier this month.

With Hearts' desperate to break the Glasgow title duopoly of Celtic and Rangers, the Tynecastle club have now turned their sights to hotshot hitman Hogh to help them become kings of Scottish football for the first time in 66 years.

Hearts had previously been linked with another highly-rated Scandinavian frontman Daniel Karlsbakk of Eliteserien club, it is understood Sarpsborg is now a target for Turkish club  Trabzonspor.

It does however remain to be seen though if they have sufficient funds to prise away the forward who represented Denmark below senior level. A question less likely to leveled at Norwich City now it has widely been stated in the press that Josh Sargent is unlikely to ever play for the club again as he seeks to force a move to Toronto in the MLS

Hogh, 25, netted a first half double against faltering Man City, overshadowing misfiring Erling Haaland, to further underline his potential, taking in the process his season’s goal tally to 20 and increasing his value.

Our Merseyside sources suggest Hogh is also on Everton’s radar. David Moyes’ side has managed only 24 league goals, making them one of the lowest scoring teams in the Premier League.
