Norwich City Hub
Norwich City are nearing a deal for Hellas Verona's Cheikh Niasse, with talks between the two clubs currently ongoing. The Championship club have been linked with the midfielder, and a move to England could be on the cards.
What's happening with the transfer?
Norwich City have held initial talks for Niasse, and will be hopeful of a good deal after Verona were relegated.
The midfielder has played 33 times for the Gialloblu since arriving in January 2025 from Young Boys. His current deal runs out in 2029, giving Verona some protection.
Why is Niasse a good fit for Norwich City?
Niasse was well regarded during his time at Young Boys, and is a pure ball-winner who suits English football. He could add value to Norwich City, and at 26 should be moving into his prime.

The Italian side are probably looking at a capital gain, and if the right money is on the table, a deal should go through. Corriere di Verona reports that talks between Verona and Norwich City are ongoing, with both parties trying to come closer to an agreement. There is a gap to bridge, but the newspaper is confident that a deal can be reached in the next few days.
