Norwich City Looking In League One For Loan Destination
Norwich City are looking to loan out 20-year-old defender Jaden Warner to a League One club in the final days of the transfer window, according to journalist Alan Nixon.
A product of the Norwich academy, he is yet to make his first-team debut for the club but is rated highly at Carrow Road.
He is not a major part of Norwich’s plans this season and the club are keen to get him a taste of regular senior football this season.
Ahead of the end of the transfer window, Norwich are now looking for a club who will sign Warner on loan.
The Canaries want Warner to play regularly this season and understand the demands of senior first-team football.
Norwich and his representatives are looking to find a temporary home for him in League One.
The club believe it would be an appropriate level for Warner to get the relevant experience this season.
Norwich want to make sure that they find the right loan move for the young defender ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.
Norwich City: No transfer plans for Sargent injury blow
David Wagner has no plans for a late transfer window striker move after Josh Sargent’s ankle injury in the 4-0 Championship romp at Huddersfield.
Sargent twisted his right ankle in the act of scoring the opener at the John Smith’s, and was immediately substituted before re-appearing at the final whistle with his lower leg in a protective boot.
Wagner fears a ‘serious’ injury, with the American set for further scans to extent the full extent of a potential lay-off.
But Ashley Barnes and Adam Idah both notched against the Terriers, and the City chief is not looking to the market between now and deadline night.
“I don’t think so. I think we are covered in this area quite well,” he said. “You’ve seen Adam in this game. He has done fantastic. Ashley is in top form. Liam (Gibbs) can play in that area of the pitch, like Nacho (Marcelino Nunez) and (Przemyslaw) Placheta. We are quite well covered. Obviously. Josh is a top, top player for us.
“He is in top form as well and this hurts if we will miss him for a longer period. But this happens to every team. Now we have to look, assess him, and hopefully it isn’t super serious, or not as serious as it looks like.
“But I don’t think that we have to be busy in this transfer window because of this injury.
“It’s quite swollen. It looks like a serious ankle injury. We have to assess it further. We need a follow up scan, for sure, and then we know more in the next upcoming days how serious it is.
“I’ve seen the goal back and when he scored he got the push (from the keeper) and this is when he landed and twisted his ankle.
“His goal showed the character and hunger within the whole group, to show that desire to go into areas where you might get hurt.
Jon Rowe’s fifth goal in five games underlined City have firepower from a number of areas.
“To score five in five speaks for itself, doesn’t it? But what counts for me is that his performance was good,” said Wagner. “He worked for the team defensively very hard, he closed the gaps and he was a threat apart from the goal.
