Josh Sargent Refuses to Play as Transfer Drama Unfolds
Norwich City coach Philippe Clement revealed that U.S. international forward Josh Sargent refused to play in Sunday’s FA Cup win over Walsall, telling the club he was unavailable because he had “transfer things in his head.”
The episode comes amid reported transfer interest, including a reported bid from MLS side Toronto FC, but Norwich insists Sargent will not be sold during the January window and that there will be consequences for his actions.
Despite Sargent’s absence, Norwich advanced comfortably, with Jovon Makama scoring a hat trick in their 5–1 victory.
