After the Canaries lost Gabriel Sara and Jonathan Rowe in the summer, the club cannot afford to let either of these men out the door mid-season. According to a report from Spanish outlet El Correo, Athletic Club are interested in signing Sainz, which could lead to a January move.

A brilliant hat-trick from Borja Sainz clinched Norwich’s 3-2 win at Derby but the main talking point of the Pride Park clash was a controversial opening goal for his team. Norwich took the lead in the third minute of stoppage-time via a brilliant finish from Sainz as he performed an acrobatic mid-air backheel to convert the ball from close range from Josh Sargent’s cross.

It’s been an inconsistent start for Norwich City, during the early stages of the season, with the team accumulating ten points from their opening seven matches – winning three games, whilst drawing and losing twice.
