Norwich have reportedly been considering bringing Royal Charleroi SC’s Ivorian winger Parfait Guiagon this month, with Glasgow Rangers also linked with the player.

The attacker can operate on both sides, although he’s been almost always on the left wing in recent years.

According to the story published by 225 Foot, Norwich City would like to finalise the deal in this window.

This claim has been picked up in Belgium over the past 24 hours or so. With both Rangers and Norwich City reportedly in the mix

Guiagon has been with the Belgian club since 2023, playing 88 matches in total. He’s scored 20 goals and contributed 15 assists, of which seven goals and two assists are from this season.

Toronto FC have reportedly submitted an $18 million bid for USMNT striker Josh Sargent, but Norwich manager Philippe Clement has insisted the forward is not for sale amid growing MLS interest. Sargent missed the Canaries’ FA Cup match this weekend after informing the club he was focused on a potential transfer, with Clement saying there would be consequences.

According to multiple reports, negotiations remain ongoing, and no agreement has been reached, but Toronto are optimistic about completing the deal despite resistance from the English Championship side.

Norwich head coach Philippe Clement publicly addressed the situation after his team’s 5–1 FA Cup victory over Walsall, revealing that Sargent made himself unavailable for the match due to transfer-related concerns rather than injury.

“He sent me a message to say that he was not available today because of transfer things that are in his head,” Clement said. “That is obviously not something we want and it will have consequences. We need to speak about that this week inside the club.”

Fabrizio Romano and ESPN reported the news of Toronto's bid

Clement was firm in his stance, reiterating that the club has no intention of selling the 25-year-old during the current window.

“The club has been really clear,” Clement said. “Josh and his agent know the situation. He will not leave in this transfer window.”

Captain Kenny McLean is not expected to be involved, with Clement indicating an unspecified minor fitness issue, but the Scot is expected to be available for the return to Championship action next weekend.

Clement also confirmed that both recent signing Ali Ahmed and fit again fellow wide player, Papa Amadou Diallo, are not under being considered for selection this weekend.  Both need more time on the training pitch to build up their fitness before being included

Young midfielder Gabe Forsyth is now in the early stages of his return to first team training. Forsyth has not featured in the first team since November 2024, after a long running complicated knee injury that has required multiple surgeries to repair.

Shane Duffy, Jeffrey Schlupp  and Amankwah Forson who are all out with hamstring injuries remain longer term absentees and are not expected in the next week or two

Reading Philippe Clements pre match interviews ahead of the FA Cup clash at home today vs Walsall it sounds likely he will pick a strong squad for the game.  He has repeatedly spoken about the importance of developing a winning culture in the club, and not prioritising the Championship over the FA Caup

“It's not that the FA Cup has less importance than the Championship, although we know the situation that we are in,” he said. “I want to create a culture of winners also, and not people who think, ‘Okay, this game is important, and that game is less important’.

"That would be the worst thing that can happen with a group of players from my side. I don't believe in that so the FA Cup is important and the same importance as the Championship.

“And in the past, enough teams from the Championship reached semi finals or even finals or even won the trophy. I'm not speaking about that now, because we need to clearly raise our levels, but we need to be ambitious in every competition that we are in.

"That's the culture I want to create in this club and in this dressing room. So same importance for me this weekend as the Championship.”

Following the departure earlier in the week of 3 young players from the Under 21 squad it is now reported that Norwich City are set to sign young winger Luke Chukwu from Irish side Bohemians.

The 18-year-old will fly to England tomorrow to complete the move, after a deal was agreed between the clubs for his transfer.

The plan is for him to initially play for both Norwich City's under-18s and under-21s, having featured for Bohemians' academy sides so far this season.

Chukwu is also an Irish youth international at under-17 level, with two caps to his name, and has previously featured for his country in the under-15s.

Chukwu has struggled with injuries during 2025, but will become the latest addition to Norwich's academy as sporting director Ben Knapper continues to expand and improve the club's development squads.
