2 players who could follow Borja Sainz out of Norwich City in January 2025

Norwich City have made a respectable start to the 2024/25 season, currently finding themselves just outside the top-six, but the January transfer window will be vital if they are going to mount a successful promotion push during the second half of the campaign.

 

Johannes Hoff Thorup was appointed as the Canaries’ head coach during the summer to replace David Wagner, who was sacked after being comprehensively beaten by Leeds United in the play-off semi-final last season.

After a relatively slow start, Norwich have picked up some momentum under their new boss in the last couple of months, with impressive victories against Watford and Hull City standing out as the highlights of their season so far.

 

Spanish forward Borja Sainz has been one of the standout players in the Championship, leading the way in the scoring chart with eight goals, with his good form no doubt catching the eye of potential suitors who could make a move to secure his services in January.

The 23-year-old was linked with Athletic Bilbao in September, and considering that they are limited to signing players who were either born in the Basque Country or learned their skills at a Basque club, it would be no surprise if they attempted to sign Sainz during the upcoming transfer window as they pursue European football for next season.

Norwich will no doubt want to keep hold of their talisman, but Athletic Bilbao may be willing to pay slightly over the odds given the fact that they are restricted in terms of who they can sign, while other clubs could easily register an interest if he continues his good form.

 

Let’s take a look at a couple of other players who could potentially leave Norwich alongside Borja Sainz if he does move on during the January transfer window.
