Josh Sargent scored his second goal in two Championship games and also netted in the Carabao Cup, leading Norwich City to victory over Portsmouth. Manager Liam Manning expressed his hope that Sargent will remain with the club amid transfer speculation. The striker has been linked to a move away, including a significant offer from Wolfsburg, which he declined. Manning praised Sargent as the best Championship striker and emphasized his leadership and work ethic, despite Sargent's ongoing struggles with the U.S. national team.
Sargent netted his second goal in two Championship games, having also scored in the Carabao Cup in midweek, to give Norwich a 2-1 win at Portsmouth on Saturday.
Manning described him as the 'best Championship striker' and praised his work rate and leadership abilities.
The 25-year-old, who joined Norwich from Werder Bremen in 2021, was close to a transfer to Wolfsburg in a deal worth in excess of €21 million earlier this summer.
Sargent has struggled to translate his club form to international soccer, going more than five years without a goal for the USMNT.
