Norwich Sends Josh Sargent to Reserves, Shuts Door on January Sale

The coach insists the striker will not be sold in January due to the club’s relegation battle.

Overview

  • Head coach Philippe Clement says Sargent is training with the under-21s and will miss Saturday’s trip to Wrexham, calling his actions unacceptable.
  • Clement said Sargent messaged before the FA Cup win over Walsall to declare himself unavailable because of transfer concerns.
  • Clement maintains he will not approve a January move and notes roughly two and a half years remain on Sargent’s contract, though only an exceptional fee could alter that stance.
  • Reports say Toronto FC has bid about $18 million, with ESPN reporting a proposal that could reach $20 million with bonuses.
  • The Telegraph links Nottingham Forest with interest, and Sargent has 56 goals for Norwich since 2021, including seven in this Championship season.
