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

Norwich City’s Championship campaign has gotten off to a patchy start.

After an outstanding second half of the season, Norwich finished sixth in the league last season. However, they endured heartbreak when they lost to Leeds United 4-0 in the play-off semi-finals, which led to the dismissal of head coach David Wagner.

In order to replace Wagner, Johannes Hoff Thorup moved from Danish team FC Nordsjaelland. However, he had a difficult start to his time at Carrow Road, as several important players left the team in the summer, most notably Gabriel Sara, who signed a contract with Galatasaray that could eventually total £22.5 million.

The Canaries were able to bring in nine new players this summer, but there is no doubt that the departures have had a big impact, and Thorup will be desperate to avoid losing any more of his stars in the January transfer window.

With that in mind, we looked at four players that Norwich simply must keep hold of in the New Year.

Angus Gunn

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.
