Norwich City’s transfer momentum doesn’t look to be letting up anytime soon, as the Canaries are dealt a positive update about one particular target. 

The Canaries have been building a very impressive squad ahead of the new campaign, with manager Liam Manning having one clear Norwich City ambition.

Their transfer window has already been busy, with the likes of Mathias Kvistgaarden completing his move to the Canaries earlier this week.

Now, another Danish star could be following him through the door at Carrow Road, and it’s looking even more likely given this recent development. 

Pelle Mattsson left out of friendly in huge indication to Norwich City 

Confirmation has come that Pelle Mattsson will not feature in Silkeborg’s squad for their friendly match today against Thisted FC. This exclusion is a strong signal that his anticipated move to Norwich City is indeed progressing.

Just last weekend, reports from German outlet BILD suggested that Norwich had seen a £1.7 million bid for the talented Silkeborg midfielder rejected.

However, given this latest news it indicates that a new, more agreeable bid from Norwich may have come to fruition, or at least that talks have advanced considerably.

Mattsson himself has reportedly made his desire for a move clear, with less than 18 months remaining on his current contract at Silkeborg. This puts the Danish club in a position where cashing in now would maximise his value, rather than risk losing him for a reduced fee or even for free in the future.

Several clubs were rumoured to be chasing Mattsson’s signature, highlighting the high demand for his abilities. But based on Norwich’s swift and shrewd business in the summer transfer window so far, we wouldn’t be surprised to see them get this exciting deal over the line very soon.

How Pelle Mattsson could fit in at Norwich City 

If the transfer goes Norwich City’s way, Pelle Mattsson could be a great addition to the team.

He’s the kind of player who pulls the strings in midfield, keeping the ball moving smoothly from deep, often making sharp, forward passes that cut right through the opponent’s defence.

This is why he would be such a good fit under Liam Manning, who loves a team that controls the ball and plays with a lot of energy. 

Mattsson’s ability to drop between defenders to start attacks means he’d slot right into Manning’s system.

Manning is also great at working with and developing young players, helping them to perform at their very best, another reason the 23-year-old is a good fit.

He’s known for building strong relationships with his squad, which will help Mattsson settle in quickly and thrive at Carrow Road.
