Norwich City plotting a late move to sign 5 PL stars this afternoon

The Canaries have started the season in decent form as they look to put last season’s underwhelming mid-table finish behind them.

In hopes of keeping up something like a positive run of form, David Wagner may look to the transfer window to add the finishing touches to his squad, with the fringes of Premier League squads the home to a host of experienced and young talents looking for more game time.

We look at FIVE Norwich could maybe target:

Teden Mengi

Mengi is still on the lookout for his next move after playing for Manchester United’s PL 2 team so far this season. The 21-year-old is no stranger to the Championship – experiencing two different spells with Derby County and Birmingham City – but is getting to the point in his development where regular game time is a necessity.

Only playing in the United youth ranks last season, the defender would benefit from a return to senior-level football and hopefully an injury-free one at that.

Bashir Humphreys

Another central defensive option, Humphreys is coming off the back of his first test in senior football as well as an international tournament.

The Chelsea defender played 12 times for German second-tier side SC Paderborn last season while playing four times for England in their U20 World Cup adventures, scoring in a 3-2 win against Uruguay. The highly-rated star is unlikely to force his way into the Chelsea eleven just yet and a full season in the Championship could do wonders for his development.

Tim Iroegbunam

Straight off the back of his first year in senior football with Queens Park Rangers, the Aston Villa youngster showcased his ability at this level on occasion despite the club languishing just above the relegation zone.

The 20-year-old played 32 times last campaign, scoring twice when he often operated in a midfield pairing under Gareth Ainsworth.

Samuel Bastien

Another central midfielder, Bastien, is a more experienced option, however, with experience in the Belgian and Italian top flight while boasting European pedigree.

The 26-year-old was a victim of Burnley’s well-stocked squad last season, struggling to assert himself as a consistent first-team regular. He played 17 times for the Clarets but made just seven starts in the Championship. With game time even less likely in the Premier League, a second shot at English football with Norwich would be a beneficial move for both parties, as Norwich look to bolster their midfield options.

Tom Cannon

While Cannon is not short of admirers, the uncertainty surrounding Josh Sargent’s future could mean Norwich throwing their hat into the ring at the final hour.

It was reported by Football Insider last week the USMNT international was of interest to Leeds United as they look to rebuild following their relegation back to the Championship. His departure would leave the Canaries with just Ashley Barnes and Adam Idah at their disposal.
