Norwich City's Josh Sargent is on the verge of a transfer to Toronto FC, according to reports. The USMNT forward has been with the Canaries for four and a half years, scoring 56 goals in 156 appearances.

What's behind the move?

Sargent's decision to leave Norwich City comes as the team sits 9th in the Championship, 30 points behind leaders Coventry. The American has been a key player for the Canaries, but his form has been inconsistent this season.

Sargent's World Cup chances

The forward's potential move to MLS could impact his chances of making the USMNT's World Cup squad. Sargent has struggled with injuries and form, but a change of scenery could help him regain his place in the team.

What comes next?

Toronto FC has sent a bid worth $18 million to Norwich City for Sargent's services, with negotiations currently underway. The Canaries' manager, Philippe Clement, has stated that the club will not let Sargent leave during this transfer window. | Category | Value | | League standing | 9th in Championship, 65 pts, 19W-8D-19L from 46 games, recent form LDWWL | | Goals this season | 63 scored, 56 conceded (+7 goal difference) | | Title race | 30 points behind leaders Coventry
