Norwich City: Will they be able to avoid a relegation battle following their summer business?

Norwich addressing areas needing the attention

Another need that was addressed by Norwich this summer window was to have bodies in the striker position. The Canaries’ Director of Football Stuart Webber, formerly of Liverpool (09′-12′) and Wolves (12′-15′) to mention a few, understood the value of having as much depth as possible in every position should a wave of injuries arise.

Should there be any unfortunate injury to Teemu Pukki (knock on wood), Daniel Farke is left with just the highly-rated youngster in Adam Idah. To remedy this, a call was made to North Germany to acquire the services of American forward Josh Sargent of Werder Bremen for £8M.

The 21-year-old enjoyed life in the Bundesliga, primarily starting off as one to make a sub appearance rather than a regular in the starting lineup.

An increase in his role positively correlated with his output as he notched 5 goals and 2 assists while improving on his KP90 (passes leading to shots per 90) numbers by +0.47 than his previous two seasons there. This holds some optimism towards his capability to play more minutes as a second striker to some extent.
