Norwich City manager Johannes Hoff Thorup is gearing up for a crucial summer as he aims to surpass the achievements of his predecessor, David Wagner, by guiding the Canaries back to the Premier League next season.
Taking over on May 30th following Wagner’s departure after a heavy loss to Leeds United in the Championship play-offs, Thorup wasted no time in making moves. He released several players whose contracts had expired but managed to secure Jacob Sorensen to stay and signed promising youngster Ken Aboh until 2027.
Thorup’s first signing, Panamanian defender José Córdoba, arrived from Levski Sofia, signaling a proactive transfer window under the new head coach.
As the summer progresses, transfer rumors are swirling around Norwich’s key players. Striker Adam Idah, who had a successful loan spell at Celtic, could be on the move after expressing a desire to continue playing for the Scottish champions. Despite interest from Celtic, Norwich is not actively trying to sell Idah, but the situation remains unresolved.
Another player with an uncertain future is Abu Kamara, who excelled on loan at Portsmouth. The 20-year-old has attracted interest from English and Belgian clubs, but Norwich is keen to keep him at Carrow Road.
With important decisions to be made regarding the squad, Thorup faces a challenging task in shaping the team for the upcoming season.
