The fact that the experienced Danish midfielder was the only one of City's out-of-contract quartet to see his stay extended courtesy of the year option inserted into his deal is a testament to his progress. Norwich moved to sign Marcondes amid their first injury crisis of the campaign. A shortage of attacking options and long-term fitness concerns, as well as his pre-existing relationship with Johannes Hoff Thorup, led to the former Brentford and Bournemouth player arriving in NR1.

Connor Southwell: City are banking on Manning's fixer qualities

6 days ago | edp24.co.uk | Connor Southwell

Much has been made of how important a summer this is for the Canaries ahead of their fourth successive Championship campaign, and after three years of ultimately failing on their objective of returning to the top-flight, this is an important moment. Every passing season a team stares down the Championship, the harder it becomes to get back up.

Crnac lays foundations ahead of City progress pursuit

1 week ago | edp24.co.uk | Connor Southwell

So much of the discourse that dominated the 20-year-old's debut campaign surrounded the fee that Norwich paid to Polish side Rakow to secure him last summer. Crnac was on a list of options that included then Rennes striker Bertug Yildirim - with City narrowing their search to players who could also operate out wide to ensure game time was maintained in Josh Sargent's dominance as a number nine. The £8.5m fee raised eyebrows at both ends.

Borja Sainz's Norwich City report card after 2024/25

1 week ago | edp24.co.uk | Connor Southwell

Yes, it did tail off. Yes, his goal return post-Christmas wasn't as spectacular as before. But from a turbulent opening campaign in England, Sainz emerged as a key cog in the City machine and elevated himself as a result. It's easy to forget that Sainz didn't start in City's play-off semi-final second leg defeat to Leeds United. That he only started 25 Championship games last season. That he didn't start a game until December.
