Norwich City Pursues Ghana International Augustine Boakye
Norwich City is reportedly one of the clubs interested in Saint-Étienne attacker Augustine Boakye, a 25-year-old Ghanaian international. As of August 19, 2026, Norwich City is 18th in the Championship with 0 points, 0 wins, 1 loss, and a recent form of L. The club is looking to strengthen its attack before the transfer window ends on September 1st.
Why it Matters for Norwich City
Boakye can play both on the wing and in central attacking roles, giving Norwich City more creativity and flexibility behind its main strikers. He had a strong 2025/26 season in Ligue 2, scoring six goals and providing nine assists in 31 games. This shows he can both create chances and score himself.
What Comes Next?
Boakye is reportedly happy at Saint-Étienne and still playing regularly, but his situation is being closely watched as the transfer window nears its end, and importantly, his contract is running down. The French club will need to make a tough decision to either renew or sell for the highest market value they can. It's not clear yet if Norwich City will make an official bid, but the club is definitely in the running for the Ghanaian attacker.
Transfer Window Update
As of August 19, 2026, the transfer window is still open, and Norwich City is expected to make some moves to strengthen its squad. The club has already shown it is ambitious in the transfer market, and signing Boakye would add both proven Championship-level quality and future resale value.
Current Squad Status
Norwich City's current squad status is as follows: Mirko Topić is currently sidelined, and the team has scored 1 goal and conceded 2, resulting in a -1 goal difference. The team is 3 points behind leaders QPR in the title race.
