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.
