Norwich City are trying to enhance Philippe Clement’s attack in the winter transfer window and have identified several possibilities.
On January 20th, Danish media reported that the Canaries made an offer to Bodø/Glimt’s Kasper Høgh. Kjetil Knutsen, manager of Bodø/Glimt, confirmed that he will not be leaving during this time period.
According to the Danish press, Mohamed Touré of Randers FC has emerged as a late transfer target for Norwich City.
Bold reported on Friday that the Championship club is in negotiations with Randers about a transfer for the striker.
Tipsbladet picks up on this and reports that the English club has made substantial steps toward bringing Touré to Carrow Road.
According to them, Norwich City has reached an agreement with the Danish club to acquire the Australian international. The cost will increase to €4 million with bonuses.
Randers said this is ‘nearly a record contract’. Their current record is €4 million from Tammer Bany’s sale to West Bromwich Albion last year.
Randers lost 1-0 against Rosenborg in a friendly on Friday. The 21-year-old was left out of the team for this game due to Norwich City’s agreement.
Clement’s team and the Superliga side would have worked out the specifics of this quick operation, according to Tipsbladet, and the player will go to England on Saturday.
Touré will undertake medical tests with the English team today before signing the contract. The story makes no mention of the specifics of the personal arrangements reached with Norwich City. In any case, Norwich City should be able to officially announce the attacker’s arrival soon.
He moved to Randers from Stade de Reims in July 2024. The Australian has 12 goals and nine assists in 49 games, with four and five coming this season.
