Five Josh Sargent replacements Norwich City should be considering in case star man leaves this summer

 

After a very disappointing season in which Norwich finished in the bottom half of the Championship table, some of their star players are likely to be leaving Carrow Road.

Josh Sargent appears destined to leave after another successful season in front of goal, scoring 15 goals from 32 games.

Jack Wilshere could be given the Norwich job permanently after impressing in the caretaker role after the Canaries decided to fire Johannes Hoff Thorup.Finding a goal scorer and replacing such skill are difficult tasks, but EFL Analysis has identified five potential possibilities that should be taken into account should the USA international depart.

Following a really dismal season in which Norwich finished in the bottom half of the Championship table, it is likely that several of their best players will be leaving Carrow Road.

Josh Sargent seems likely to depart after another spectacular season in front of goal, netting 15 times from 32 outings.

Finding a goal scorer and replacing such skill are difficult tasks, but EFL Analysis has identified five potential possibilities that should be taken into account should the USA international depart.

Norwich have had success with German exports in the past after being the team that initially introduced Daniel Farke to English football.

Fisknik Asllani has been a machine in front of goal for 2. Bundesliga side Elversberg and is on loan from Hoffenheim, who have a variety of options to chose from.

With his projected 20 goals for the season, the 22-year-old will be a highly sought-after attacker.

Wycombe Wanderers’ performance in the League One playoffs may have an impact on Richard Kone’s availability, but his stats speak for themselves.

Taken from non-league football, Kone has been a standout player in the third division and a talented shot in front of goal.

Norwich would need to act fast to secure his signature, and they risk missing out on the forward if they must wait for Sargent to depart before taking action.

One of Romania’s young players with high expectations, Louis Munteanu, returned home after his time in Italy didn’t work out, and CFR Cluj has had an amazing season.

If he were to take Sargent’s place, Munteanu would be the main man since he enjoys being the center of attention.

Although going to the Championship in Romania’s top division would be a significant step up, he might be prepared this time around given how young he was when he moved overseas.

Casper Tengstedt has the lowest figures on paper and is perhaps the most costly person on the list.

Tengstedt is on loan at a Serie A who are currently 15th in the table and is by no means in the top scorers list but his record in the past at Norwegian club Rosenborg has reason to believe he may recapture his form if his potential is unleashed.

The 24-year-old would be among the top names in the Championship if he signed, and he has a wealth of experience in several European divisions.
