Norwich City have already secured three key additions this summer, manager Philippe Clement says, and now the Canaries can focus on preparing for an August 15 league start.

How did the transfer window unfold?

Clement explained that the club acted quickly, snapping up Andre Brooks for £8 million from Sheffield United, sealing a permanent deal for Sam Field and arranging an initial loan for Brazilian youngster Bruno Alves. He added that the owners, Mark Attanasio and Norfolk Holdings, backed the spending, allowing the recruitment team led by Ben Knapper to move fast. "No days off, but I don't mind that," the head coach said, noting he even used family holiday time to assess targets.

Why does Clement feel confident about the squad?

The manager believes the mix of youth and experience will raise the team's ceiling. He praised Brooks as a "big transfer for the future" and highlighted the need for seasoned players on the right wing, a need partially met by the new signings. "We’ve done a lot compared to other teams," he said, pointing to the owners' willingness to step in when needed. The Canaries sit 9th in the Championship with 65 points, a record of 19 wins, 8 draws and 19 losses from 46 games, and a recent form of LDWWL.

What does the upcoming season look like?

Clement can now shift his attention to pre‑season training, confident that the transfer backlog is minimal. He warned that last‑minute deals often drain energy, but this summer’s work means the squad can concentrate on tactical drills and fitness. Norwich have scored 63 goals and conceded 56 this season, a +7 goal difference, yet they remain 30 points behind leaders Coventry in the title race. The manager expects the new players to push the young group to a higher level.

What are the next steps for the Canaries?

With the window closed, the focus turns to integrating the newcomers. Clement mentioned that the club will avoid late‑night scouting sessions, allowing staff and players more rest before the campaign kicks off. He also hinted at a possible left‑back signing, keeping the recruitment door open. The aim is clear: turn the current squad into a side capable of challenging for promotion spots, rather than settling for mid‑table safety.
