Malgré une offre très importante de @NorwichCityFC, Alexis Claude-Maurice ne rejoindra pas les Canar… https://t.co/TIHXdRT4dD (@SoccerLink_)
The report claims that Claude-Maurice was not convinced by the club’s plan and will not be coming over to England.
READ NORWICH VERDICT
Despite Claude-Maurice not coming in, Norwich have had a good transfer window this summer.
Stuart Webber has brought in five new players, with Ralf Fahrmann, Ibrahim Amadou and Patrick Roberts signing on loan. Josip Drmic and Sam Byram have also put pen to paper on permanent deals, to strengthen Norwich’s squad.
They have added quality and depth to several positions, with Fahrmann even boasting Champions League experience – playing in Europe’s premier competition for Schalke last season.
Drmic is also a full Switzerland international and has scored 10 goals for his country in 32 caps, which suggests that he knows how to find the back of the net at the top level.
Byram also comes in from West Ham with Premier League experience, which means that he knows what it takes to play at this level, with Roberts also having played in the division for Fulham and Manchester City.
