Norwich City have secured a huge financial win in Mathias Kvistgaarden deal, it’s a Ben Knapper masterstroke
Liam Manning is quickly building a very strong Norwich City side.
While Borja Sainz is closing in on a move to Porto, Jacob Wright has already joined permanently and the goalkeeper situation at Carrow Road has been sorted.
Now, Mathias Kvistgaarden is having a medical with the Canaries as the club continue to spend. However, Manning has a significant transfer kitty and he is showing his confidence in using it.
Nevertheless, after the Dane was first thought to be on his way to Norfolk for £12m, it has been revealed that Norwich will be spending much less.
Mathias Kvistgaarden is set to join Norwich City for significantly less than originally thought
Kvistgaarden will join the Canaries from Brondby, and there was interest from elsewhere – including French outfit Lens.
However, they were priced out of a move and according to Paddy Davitt, Norwich have secured a deal for just £6.9m after Ben Knapper found a release clause in the striker’s contract.
The 23-year-old has been keen on a move to Carrow Road and he has arrived in the country for his medical.
There will be a sell-on clause for Brondby and several other clauses, but it will keep the purchase below Norwich’s record buy.
Josh Sargent may now have the green light to leave
It’s not just Sainz who looks like he will be leaving the club this summer, with Josh Sargent of interest to Leeds United.
The American will be keen to play at the highest level he can in 2025/26 ahead of the World Cup in his home country next summer. Now that a replacement has been found, Sargent will surely be free to leave Norwich.
Goals from elsewhere are definitely needed for the Canaries next season, and Kvistgaarden will help provide those as Manning looks to end the Norfolk side’s Premier League hiatus.
Norwich City are about to make the biggest move of the transfer window so far in the Championship, as EFL Analysis exclusively reveals the Canaries are close to completing a move for Mathias Kvistgaarden.
Since Liam Manning took over at Carrow Road this summer, there has been plenty of transfer activity to give Norwich fans hope that things are heading in the right direction under the new boss.
