Norwich City Secures Swift Deal, Player Arriving for Saturday Medical

Norwich City is set to enhance its offensive lineup during the winter transfer market. The club has identified several potential targets, aiming to secure a swift deal.

Player Transfer Target: Mohamed Touré

As of January 20, reports from Denmark indicate that Norwich made a move for Kasper Høgh of Bodø/Glimt. However, the club’s manager, Kjetil Knutsen, quickly ruled out a transfer for his player.

Late Move for Touré

Recent developments have shifted attention to Mohamed Touré of Randers FC. Bold reported that Norwich City is actively negotiating a deal for the young striker. The English Championship side has reportedly made significant progress in discussions.

  • Club: Randers FC
  • Nationality: Australia
  • Transfer Fee: Estimated €4 million plus bonuses
  • Age: 21 years

This fee stands as one of the highest for Randers, approaching their record sale of €4 million for Tamer Bany to West Bromwich Albion last year.

Upcoming Medical and Contract Signing

Following a friendly loss to Rosenborg, Touré, who didn’t participate, is now set to travel to England for medical tests. Sources suggest that the agreement is well underway, and the player will complete the necessary evaluations today.

Once cleared, Touré is expected to finalize his contract with Norwich City. Though details about his personal terms remain undisclosed, the swift nature of this operation indicates a strong commitment from both parties.

Player Background

Touré joined Randers FC from Stade de Reims in July 2024. His performance has been notable, with a total of 12 goals and nine assists across 49 matches. This season alone, he has contributed four goals and five assists.

Norwich City fans can look forward to the official announcement of Touré’s signing, potentially bolstering their attacking options for the remainder of the season.
