With the January transfer window looming, Norwich City will be aiming to bolster their squad to get themselves back into promotion contention.
Former Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner is under immense pressure at Carrow Road to get the Canaries promoted back to the Premier League for the seventh time.
The Yellows ended up bringing in 10 new players to Norfolk in the summer, with the more notable additions of Adam Forshaw, Jack Stacey, Shane Duffy and Ashley Barnes adding much needed competition the group.
| Norwich City – 2023/24 Signings | ||
|---|---|---|
| Player Name | Signed From | Loan/Permanent |
| Christian Fassnacht | BSC Young Boys | Permanent |
| Kellen Fisher | Bromley | Permanent |
| Borja Sainz | Giresunspor | Permanent |
| Shane Duffy | Fulham | Permanent |
| Jack Stacey | AFC Bournemouth | Permanent |
| Adam Forshaw | Leeds United | Permanent |
| Ashley Barnes | Burnley | Permanent |
| George Long | Millwall | Permanent |
| Danny Batth | Sunderland | Permanent |
| Ui-jo Hwang | Nottingham Forest | Loan |
But while further incomings will be a priority in East Anglia, departures are also likely to occur to fund some of those moves.
Here at Football League World, we list three Norwich players who may depart Carrow Road at the beginning of 2024.
Jonathan Rowe
Up first is Jonathan Rowe, who is one of the most exciting and promising talents the second-tier has seen so far this season.
Rowe made his Premier League debut for the Canaries aged 18, making 13 cameos during their relegation campaign. With a chance to impress in the Championship, injury woes hampered his chance at game time, making just three substitute appearances at the back end of last term.
Now fully fit, the 20-year-old has showcased his talents to the Canaries faithful and has been a key component to the side picking up some important points.
It was reported in October by the Daily Mail that Premier League duo Aston Villa and Crystal Palace were monitoring Rowe after his emergence in Norfolk this campaign, and it would hardly be a surprise to see him earn a permanent move back to the top-flight for a sizeable fee.
Sam McCallum
When signing for Norwich in January 2020 from Coventry City, McCallum failed to assert himself as a first-team mainstay and spent the next season-and-a-half back with the Sky Blues.
McCallum currently finds himself second in command to Dimitris Giannoulis after playing just three times so far this term under Wagner, and the Canterbury-born man may seek another second-tier loan spell to gain regular minutes and restore his confidence.
Daniel Barden
Yellows shot-stopper Daniel Barden appears to be Norwich’s clear third choice goalkeeper behind Angus Gunn and George Long, making it difficult to secure any action at Carrow Road in the near future.
