Josh Sargent is pushing for a transfer to join MLS side Toronto FC following a ‘heated meeting’ with Norwich chief Ben Knapper and head coach Philippe Clement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Josh Sargent Pushing for MLS Move<\/h2>\n

United States international Josh Sargent has seemingly played his final game for Norwich.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away from Carrow Road, with reports claiming that he and his family want to return to North America following the birth of his third child.<\/p>\n

A move to Canada to Toronto FC is said to be his favoured scenario, but while the Canaries insisted Sargent was ‘not for sale’, he was forced to train with the U21s amid transfer talks.<\/p>\n

MLS insider\u00a0Tom Bogert\u00a0<\/em>has since revealed that a heated meeting has taken place between Sargent, Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper and head coach Philippe Clement.<\/p>\n

He says the encounter left Sargent ‘visibly upset’ after a comment was made about his family.<\/p>\n

Bogert wrote on X: “After a heated meeting with Norwich City sporting director Ben Knapper and head coach Philip Clement… it appears that Josh Sargent has played his last game for the club.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Sargent was seen visibly upset.<\/em><\/p>\n

“One source says there was a comment made regarding Sargent’s family which was the last straw. He continues to train with second team as he pushes for transfer to Toronto FC.<\/em><\/p>\n

“TFC & Norwich continue negotiations.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Sargent has been a key player for Norwich since their relegation from the Premier League in 2022 and was named in the EFL Championship Team of the Season in 2024-25.<\/p>\n

He was also awarded the club’s Player of the Season award after notching 15 goals last term.<\/p>\n

As for this term, he has eight goals and three assists in 24 matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Toronto previously submitted a bid worth around \u00a313.5m to sign the forward earlier in the window, however the Norfolk-based outfit reportedly want over \u00a320m to sanction his exit.<\/p>\n

Norwich Target Bodo\/Glimt Striker<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, Norwich want Kasper Hogh<\/a> to join from Bodo\/Glimt as Sargent’s replacement.<\/p>\n

The Dane starred for the Norwegian club in the Champions League earlier this week, netting a two-minute brace as his side claimed a 3-1 win over Premier League giants Manchester City.<\/p>\n
