BREAKING: just now Norwich City simply cannot let the transfer vultures capture these 4 Canaries stars in January……

Goalkeeper Angus Gunn returned for a third spell at Carrow Road when he re-joined Norwich from Southampton in the summer of 2021 for a fee of around £2.5 million.

Gunn initially struggled to displace Tim Krul between the sticks, but he established himself in the team during the 2022-23 season, and he has remained the Canaries’ first choice ever since.

The 28-year-old enjoyed an impressive start to the season, but he suffered a muscle injury in early October that has kept him out for the past month, and he has certainly been missed during his absence.

George Long has deputised for Gunn in recent weeks, but he has made costly mistakes against Preston North End, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday, and Thorup will be keen to have his number one back as soon as possible.

Gunn’s contract at Carrow Road expires in the summer, so Norwich could potentially be vulnerable to losing him in January, and given that the Scotland international has previously attracted interest from Rangers, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that other clubs could make a move as he enters the last six months of his deal.

However, Long’s uncertain performances have highlighted just how important Gunn is for the Canaries, and the club must not consider selling him under any circumstances.
