Norwich City have officially completed the signing of rising USA star Josh Sargent from Werder Bremen. The transfer fee was not officially announced, but is rumoured to be around the £8m mark, and the 21-year-old has put pen to paper a four-year deal that will keep him at Carrow Road till the summer of 2025.
Sargent joined Werder as a teenager back in 2017 and went to make 81 appearances for them across all competitions. He was also part of the USA squad at the U20 World Cup that year and earned his first senior cap for the USMNT in 2018.
Norwich finished as winners of the Championship in 2020/21, thus earning automatic promotion to the Premier League. The Canaries have three tough games to start the new campaign- the first at home against Liverpool, the second away at defending champions Manchester City, and the third against newly crowned Community Shield winners Leicester. Sargent has described himself primarily as a No.9, but has said he’d be willing to play anywhere required.
The transfer re-unites Sargent with former Werder Bremen team mate Milot Rashica, who joined Norwich back in June. Bremen were relegated from the Bundesliga at the end of the 20/21 season. Image Carrow Road by Angmering via Wikimedia.
