Ali Ahmed has sent Norwich City supporters the right kind of message before Canada’s World Cup meeting with Qatar: the midfielder believes there is still more to come.
The 25-year-old has already made a strong early impression at Carrow Road, and Football League World has reported that Ahmed feels he can still find another level after his first months in yellow and green.
That is exactly what City fans will want to hear. Ahmed arrived with athleticism, bite and the ability to carry the ball through pressure, but the next stage is turning those flashes into a full Championship season under Philippe Clement.
Norwich City will want Ahmed to return with momentum
Canada’s meeting with Qatar gives Ahmed another useful platform, and it comes after Read Norwich looked at his World Cup chance with Canada earlier today.
For Norwich, the bigger picture is simple. Ahmed is not just away on international duty as a squad name; he is one of the players who could help shape Clement’s first full campaign if he comes back sharper, fitter and more confident.
City already have recruitment work to do this summer, but internal improvement matters just as much. Ahmed talking about another level is encouraging because Norwich need players who see last season’s recovery as a starting point, not a finish line.
If he carries that mindset from the World Cup into pre-season, Clement will have a midfielder with the legs, edge and ambition to make a real push for a regular role.
