Wrexham fans, buckle up for the latest buzz! Rumour has it that the possibility of signing Norwich City’s star striker, Josh Sargent, has hit a major speed bump. Philippe Clement, Norwich’s head coach, confirmed that the American forward won’t be playing in this Saturday’s match at the Racecourse Ground. He’s been benched after a bit of “unacceptable behaviour.”
Sargent, who’s been eyeing regular playtime ahead of the World Cup on home turf, was linked with a potential £13.5 million transfer to Toronto FC. Wrexham, however, haven’t made official moves, despite former footy ace Iwan Roberts suggesting he’d be a great addition to the team.
But here’s the kicker: Norwich slapped a jaw-dropping £100 million price tag on the striker! Even our Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, might hesitate at that fee.
Clement’s comments on Sargent’s future were mysteriously vague, but he did hint that anything’s possible—for the right price. But with Norwich battling relegation, selling their star might not be their top priority right now.
Iwan Roberts chatted about the idea on a podcast, explaining that Sargent could be a fantastic addition, especially given his knack for playing well under pressure. Yet, with Wrexham’s Kieffer Moore already a top choice, fitting Sargent into the mix might be tricky.
Wrexham’s currently on a roll after a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Nottingham Forest, sitting just shy of the play-offs. Meanwhile, Norwich is struggling at the bottom of the table. Interesting times ahead, footy fans! What do you reckon—would Sargent be worth the gamble? ⚽🔥
